In later use reborrowed < scientific Latin Allium, genus name ( Linnaeus1753) I. 294), specific use of classical Latin allium.Earlier examples such as the following, where the word is glossed in an English context, should probably be regarded as showing the Latin word: ▸ a1398 J. Trevisa tr. Bartholomaeus Anglicus De Proprietatibus Rerum (BL Add. 27944) (1975) II. xvii. xi. 909 Garleek hatte alleum and haþ þat name of olendo ‘smellynge’, for it smelleþ strongliche.1525 Herball sig. B.i This herbe Allium is called Garleke.1526 Grete Herball sig. B.ii Allium is garlyke. It is hote and drye in the myddle of the .iiii. degre.

Originally: garlic. In later use (more widely): any plant of the genus Allium (family Amaryllidaceae), comprising bulbous plants native chiefly to temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere, which typically have a distinctive pungent aroma, and include various edible crop and garden plants such as garlic, onion, leek, and shallot, and also numerous kinds grown for their ornamental umbels; (also, in form Allium) the genus itself.In quot. 1600 showing a mistranslation of classical Latin Allia, denoting a tributary of the Tiber (at which the Gauls defeated the Romans in 390 b.c.), which the translator interprets as meaning ‘garlic’.
