From Old English alwe (“fragrant resin of an East Indian tree”), from Latin aloē, from Ancient Greek ᾰ̓λόη (ălóē), from Hebrew אָהָל (ʾāhāl) or related Aramaic forms, ultimately from Old Tamil 𑀅𑀓𑀺𑀮𑁰 (akil); reinforced in Middle English by Old French aloes. The spelling is influenced by transcriptions of the Latin, Greek and Old French words.
