The word "Checkmate" is from Old French eschec mat, from Arabic šāh māta, from Persian šāh māt. Checkmate is a situation in chess in which a player loses the game because that player's king is in a position from which it cannot escape.
Checkmate is a game position in chess in which a player's king is in check (threatened with capture) and there is no way to remove the threat.

The term Checkmate came from the Persian word "shāh māt" which means, "The King is helpless" or "The King is dead". The word shāh means King and māt means helpless or dead.

In chess the king is never captured-the game ends as soon as the king is checkmated.
eg.;blacks king is checkmated.The game is over

Check comes from Arabic "Sheikh"; mate comes from "mat". Together the two Arabic words mean the sheikh or master or even king is dead, which signifies the end of a game of chess.
