You are right in your reaction , some of these words do come from other languages or from Old English which comes from old Germanic language: Aardvark (from Afrikaans - Middle Dutch - Indo-European roots)= Africa animal which eats ant. Ajar (from Old English) = Contrast Akimbo (Middle English) = ... Canvas (from Old French and from Medieval Latin ) Conundrum (origin unknown)= Difficult question Galore (from Old Irish) = so many Jamboree (origin  unknown) = Carnival, festival Kudos (from Greek) = Well-known, famous Pizzazz (origin  unknown) = ?

Akimbo means with hand on hip and elbow bent outward: to stand with arms akimbo.

Aardvark - a type of animal with a long snout, from Africa, eats ants.  Looks like a small kangaroo crossed with a pig
Ajar - a door that is open a little bit
Akimbo - having the hand on the hip and the elbow turned outward (I had to look it up, I never use this word!)
Canvas - a type of thick, rough fabric.  Used for shoes, backpacks, tents
Conundrum - a situation in which it's difficult to make a decision
Galore - lots (like, "I have money galore!" = "I have lots of money!")
Jamboree - a large party or festival
Kudos - praise given for achievement "Kudos to you for getting good grades!"
Pizzazz - flashy, showy, attractive "That suit has a lot of pizzazz"
Queue - a line for waiting, such as in a grocery store (this is more of a British word)
Shampoo - liquid for washing your hair
Snafu - this is actually an acronym, I think ususally used in the miltary, SNAFU = situation normal all *** up
Woo = to court or flirt with someone "He must being trying to woo you, that's the second time he's sent you flowers"
Bungee = a type of stretchy cord or rope.  Bungee jumping is when you jump from a high distance attached to a harness and a bungee rope.
