Kestrel, a small falcon also called the windhover, appears around 1600, after an earlier form castrell in the 15th century, and probably comes from Old French cresserele, a word Etymonline calls of obscure origin.

Lentil is recorded from the mid 13th century, from Old French lentille and Latin lenticula, a diminutive of lens, the Latin name for the plant and its seed.

Marzipan took its modern English form in 1901 from German Marzipan, replacing the late 15th century march payne, and the German came from Italian marzapane (candy box), from Medieval Latin matapanus (small box), earlier a coin bearing an image of a seated Christ.

One suggestion traces it to Arabic mawthaban (king who sits still), but the source says nobody quite accepts this and nobody has a better idea.
