History / Edad Media
Spanish term or phrase: alfaqueque
En este caso jugaron un importante papel los comerciantes, los ejeas o los alfaqueques, que intermediaban en la liberación de cautivos, siempre que estos contaran con posibilidades económicas para hacer frente a los gastos del rescate.

Era la persona encargada de rescatar a los cristianos esclavos en un país musulmán, ¿pero tiene un nombre "específico" en francés?

Reference: La etimología árabe de las palabras que empiezan por “al”

Reference information:
No es preciso, sin embargo, dominar la etimología española para identificar un gran número de palabras de origen árabe: muchos términos españoles que empiezan con al- provienen del árabe, pues como se indicó anteriormente, al corresponde al artículo definido en ese idioma. Algunos ejemplos son: alacena - alacrán - alambique - alarde - alarido - alarife - alazán - albacea - albahaca - albañal - albaricoque - alberca - albornoz - alborozo - albur - alcalde - álcali - alcancía - alcaparra - alcachofa - aldaba - aldea - alfaguara - alfalfa - alfanje - alféizar - alfeñique - alférez - alfil - alfombra - alforja - algarabía - algarroba - alguacil - alhaja - alharaca – al(h)elí - alicate - aljibe - aljofaina - almanaque - almeja - almíbar - almohada - alquiler - alquimia - alquitrán - alubia
