Words like kung fu, dharma, masala or the abbreviation RSVP don't mean the same thing in their original languages that they do in English.

ADDITIONS/CORRECTIONS:
"Répondez s'il vous plaît" literally meaning "Answer if you please" or in this case "Please respond"

For whatever it's worth, "salsa" comes to Spanish from Arabic, where it also means "sauce"
