There's no such language as Egyptian.

Pelaaja75147660, actually there is, or was. It has morphed into what is now known as the coptic language. But as this question is asking for the origin of a word it is reasonable to assume the original language may now be obsolete or 'dead'. So having the option of Egyptian is a plausible choice.
