It's the other way round. To meditate is latin-based English word (Latin "meditari": to reflect upon, to consider, to think about) that predates exposure to Far Eastern cultures.
It's quite fair to say that the word is a misnomer. My Zen-practicing friends do not say they meditate. They say they sit. (as in "practice of sitting")
