    Mosque: 1600–10; earlier mosquee < MF < It moschea ≪ Ar masjid, derivitive of sajada "to worship", literally., prostrate oneself; the -ee seems to have been taken as diminutive suffix and dropped.

    Mosquito: 1575–85; < Sp, equiv. to mosc(a) fly (< L musca) + -ito dim. suffix

    Unfortunately no. except a very close time period.

  • Mosque comes from moschea, which means worship.

    Mosquito comes from mosca ito, which means little fly.
