In persian thee are a lot of words like that, maybe its because right now there are many arabic words in persian , and in the past , like the time period that "ferdosi" (iranian poet) were alive , alll the words were persian . (Informations may be a bit wrong😜)

i have one word in Chinese. not really been disappeared, but it changing its real meaning.
囧(jiǒng)was the old form of 冏(jiǒng), it mean Bright. But 囧 looks like a funny face, which is associated with embarrassment. Now it usually means embarrassed, helpless, or defeated. It's almost the same as Orz. Some one made a meme as 囧rz

"Boogh" meant : something for poor people , it was made of animals , and when you yelled in it (or something like that) , it made a horrible voice...
Its almost the same thing right now, but we mostly use it as a "horrible sound" or "horn" .
(That isnt dissappeared, but the word is came from that , i wrote it anyway)
