What is the etymology of the word ninja?

In Japanese, the Kanji alphabet uses mostly Chinese characters that represent ideas instead of sounds. Therefore, each kanji character can be read phonetically either in Japanese or Chinese. The word 'ninja' comes from the Chinese characters 'nin' and 'sha' (which basically mean 'stealth' and 'person'). Those same characters, in Japanese kanji, are read as 'shinobi no mono'. So the Japanese word for 'ninja' is 'shinobi'.

What is the word 'ninja' when translated from English to Japanese?

Shinobi (忍び) "ninja" is quite an interesting word, in fact the term is a native to Japanese (much like tsunami and other such words) and has the same meaning in English. It's literal meaning is "Those who endure", though it was used to describe the Japanese warriors who used ninjutsu to perform espionage and assassinations. The kanji spelling is 忍者 (ninja). Also, though the word mentioned previously can be used to address ninjas, it also has many other meanings like stealth and traveling incognito as it is the "masu" stem for the verb 忍ぶ (shinobu) which means "to conceal oneself" or "to hide". Thus as a noun, it's meaning must be drawn through context.
