A fragrant tropical wood from Asian trees, also called eaglewood or aloeswood, used in perfumes and incense.
From Arabic oud/agarwood combined with English wood; the term reflects both the Arabic origin of the valuable resin and English naming conventions. The wood became precious through Middle Eastern and Asian trade routes.
Agillawood is so expensive that it's literally worth more than gold by weight—a single infected tree can be worth thousands of dollars, which has led to unsustainable harvesting and conservation efforts across Southeast Asia.
