How the two words are related
Cognate
Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.
Arabic root
س-ل-س-لHebrew root
ש-ל-ש-לThe everyday שרשרת isn't the match — reach for the older שַׁלְשֶׁלֶת instead (as in שלשלת היוחסין, a genealogical 'chain'). Comparative Semitists trace both שלשלת and سِلْسِلَة to the same trick: doubling a two-letter core (ש-ל / س-ل, with the regular ש↔س correspondence) to build a word for 'a repeating series of links'. A necklace, in both languages, is literally 'link-link'.
