Old English garleac (Mercian), garlec (W. Saxon) “garlic,” from gar “spear” (in reference to the clove), see gar + leac “leek” (see leek).

(Heb. shum, from its strong odour), mentioned only once (Num. 11:5). The garlic common in Eastern countries is the Allium sativum or Allium Ascalonicum, so called from its having been brought into Europe from Ascalon by the Crusaders. It is now known by the name of “shallot” or “eschalot.”
