Does the English word "eye" derive from the Arabic word عين 'ayn /ʕajn/ ? The words sound very similar, and have the same meaning.

Some words of Arabic origin: Amber “العنبر” (anbar) Crimson “قرمزي” (karmazi) Elixir “إكسير” (ikseer) Carat “قيراط” (kirat) Cottom “القطن” (al-kutn) Sherbet “شربات” (sharabat) Tahini “الطحينة” (tahina) Chipher / zero “صفر” (sifr) Mask / mascara “المسكرة” (mascara) Alcohol “الكحول” (al-kohool) Hazard “زهر” (zahr) Caliber “قالب” (ka’leb) Jar “جرة” (jarra) Chemistry “الكيمياء” (al-keemya’a) and so forth

Just because two words look or sound alike it doesn't mean they have the same origins, for example, "ojo" and "eye" have the same roots from proto-indo european, and they have nothing in common.

No it's not derived from Arabic . English is mostly derived from German or and Latin languages . http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eye#Etymology
