Why is the word “okay” prevalent across most major languages?

It’s odd that such a basic language construct would be the same across Spanish, Dutch, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, French, Russian, Indonesian, German, Maldivian, Malay, Urdu, Punjabi, and Filipino and others.
