almirante

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese almirante. Ultimately from Arabic أَمِير‎ (ʔamīr, “commander, prince”), in particular أَمِير الْبَحْر‎ (ʔamīr al-baḥr, “commander of the fleet”), interpreted as a present participle with the suffix -ante and influenced by the Arabic article ال‎ (al-). Compare Spanish almirante, French amiral.
