How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
The same Latin loan in both, doing double duty for biology and computing: Arabic fayrūs and Hebrew וירוס are identical borrowings of 'virus' — a word that jumped from medicine to malware in both languages at the same historical moment.
