That's not right...

- Ambassador comes from a Celtic root (recorded as ambaxtos), independently borrowed into Latin (ambactus) and Germanic (e.g. Gothic andbahts).
- Bigot and Bigotry have unknown etymologies.
- Cheval de Frise is largely from Roman (caballus).
- Cologne is from Latin (Colonia).
- Embassy, see Ambassador. Wiktionary lists a route from Celtic to Gothic to Latin, so it's possible.
