Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English olyve, from Old French olive (olive, olive tree), from Latin olīva (olive), itself from either *𐌄𐌋𐌄𐌉𐌅𐌀, *elaíwā (compare 𐀁𐀨𐀷, ἐλαίᾱ), or the same source as those two. In any case, ultimately from a Mediterranean - source, possibly *wlw (wild olive). More questionably, maybe from Proto-Indo-European *loiwom (compare лои tallow, եւղ oil). oliva oil.
