Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗The resins of the tree Aquilaria malaccensis (syn. Aquilaria agallocha), known for their fragrant aroma, produced after infection by the fungus Phialophora parasitica. · Any plant of the large and variable genus Aloe. · Misnomer for any large, vaguely aloe-like plant, such as Agave. · A strong, bitter drink made from the juice of such plants, used as a purgative.
From Old English alwe (“fragrant resin of an East Indian tree”), from Latin aloē, from Ancient Greek ᾰ̓λόη (ălóē), from Hebrew אָהָל (ʾāhāl) or related Aramaic forms, ultimately from Old Tamil 𑀅𑀓𑀺𑀮𑁰 (akil); reinforced in Middle English by Old French aloes. The spelling is influenced by transcriptions of the Latin, Greek and Old French words.
