Etymology
لَوْز is an old Semitic word for the almond, not a native Arabic derivation from a verb root. It has direct relatives in other Semitic languages, including biblical Hebrew, where the same word names the almond tree. The word likely spread across the region with the tree and its trade long before classical Arabic took shape.
