How come both Spanish and English have words for "a meeting of witches" with entirely different origins? (Coven and Aquelarre)

by Frigorifico

It hit me the other day that both spanish and english have words for meetings of witches. This wouldn't be weird if maybe latin had a word for it, or indoeuropean, but no. In fact it seems the spanish word comes from Euskera, which is a language isolate

This means that people in both Spain and England (and possibly elsewhere in europe) saw the need to develop a word for this very specific thing... Why? Was it because of the inquisition or something?

You might be interested in this post by u/BRIStoneman on witchcraft and the law in the Middle Ages, which I think helps illustrate how central the concept of witchcraft was to the cultures of Middle Age Europe.
