Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

As you apparently are not aware, 'ark' is not the original term used --- Noah did not speak English, nor did the Israelites!.

The word 'ark' comes from the Middle English, who got it from Old English 'arc,' who got it from Latin 'arca' (meaning chest); which is akin to Latin 'arcēre' (meaning to hold off, defend), which was derived from Greek 'arkein,' and/or the Hittite 'h?ark-' (meaning to have, hold)Www@QuestionHome@Com
