aloe
English
Etymology
From Old English alwe (“fragrant resin of an East Indian tree”), from Latin aloē, from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter "sc" should be a valid script code; the value "polytonic" is not valid. See WT:LOS., from Hebrew אֲהָלִים, ultimately from a Dravidian language through Sanskrit कालागुरु (kālāguru, “agarwood”); reinforced in Middle English by Old French aloes.
