Borrowed from Arabic بِلَّوْرِيّ (billawriyy, “crystalline”), from بِلَّوْر (billawr, “crystal”), from Persian, from Middle Persian, from Sanskrit वैडूर्य (vaiḍūrya). The Royal Spanish Academy postulates that it came to Arabic from Tamil but notes that similar terms are found in other South Asian languages, including Persian and Sanskrit.[1]
