Language from which "alcohol" is derived (6)

I believe the answer is:

arabic

(Other definitions for arabic that I've seen before include "Official language of Egypt" , "1 [GCSE]" , "Like numerals one, two, three etc." , "Language widespread in Middle East and N Africa" , "Correspond; last word of Othello" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
