'arsenal', meaning an armory or a stockpile of weapons, actually comes from #Arabic دار الصناعة dār aṣ-ṣināʕa 'house of manufacture'.

the root صنع ṣ-n-ʕ can also be found in the verb صنع ṣanaʕa 'to manufacture, build' & مصنع maṣnaʕ 'factory'.

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?

Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low
