Brit.

/əˈɡalɒk/, U.S.

γ. 1700s agaloch, 1900s– agalloch.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin agallochum, agallochon.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin agallochum, agalochum (1516 or earlier), earlier agallochon (6th cent.) < Hellenistic Greek ἀγάλλοχον , ἀγάλοχον , ultimately < an Indian language (compare the examples cited at agila n. and see note). Compare Middle French, French agalloche (1552).The Indian word was probably transmitted into Greek via a Middle Iranian language (in an extended form, with a velar suffix common in several Indo-Iranian languages); compare Pahlavi awalūg (written ’wlwg ). Transmission (additionally or solely) via a Semitic language has also been suggested; compare also Hebrew āhālōṯ (see aloe n.).

Now chiefly historical.

Aloe wood, the fragrant resinous heartwood of trees of the South-East Asian genus Aquilaria, esp. that of A. malaccensis (formerly A. agallocha). Cf. aloe n. 1.
