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.
