Also Swedish: semester means 'a vacation' and gift means 'poison'

gift means poison in a lot of northern European languages, actually. Fun fact: that's because 'gift' (in the sense of 'present') was used as a euphemism for poison so much, the original meaning faded eventually

Being married is gift as well.
