Answer:
The term checkmate is, according to the Barnhart Etymological Dictionary, an alteration of the Farsi phrase “shāh māt” which means, literally, “the King is helpless”. ... It comes from a Persian verb mandan, meaning “to remain”, which is cognate with the Latin word maneō and the Greek menō (μενω, which means “I remain”)
