Not always, the word skosh(meaning just a little bit or a tiny amount) comes from the Japanese word sukoshi(少し), but that can probably be attributed to the language not generally using romanized letters.
It’s a very interesting word to me since its one of the very few words that migrated from Japanese to English and isn’t a name of something. The way it came over is also rather interesting, as it was through collaboration between US and Japanese soldiers during the Korean war.
