এলাচ

Bengali

Inherited from Magadhi Prakrit [Term?], from Sanskrit এলীকা (elīkā), likely from Dravidian, ultimately from Proto-Dravidian *ēlakāy (“cardamom seed”). Compare Sylheti ꠄꠟꠣꠁꠌ (elais), Assamese ইলাচি (ilasi), Odia ଅଳେଇଚ (ôḷeicô), as well as Hindustani الائچی / इलायची (ilāycī) and Nepali अलैंची (alaiñcī); also compare Tamil ஏலக்காய் (ēlakkāy), Malayalam ഏലക്ക (ēlakka) and Telugu ఏలకి (ēlaki).
