Well, it was time. Statistically.

And I'm not sure I consider this word Engish. I know a German meaning and an Italian meaning, but no English.

It's an import. Actually an abbreviated import. A word that's become quite well known (in the UK at least) only within the last two or three decades, I guess. (Look it up in English Wikipedia.)
