A fragrant tropical wood from certain trees, historically valued for its scent and used in incense and perfumes.
From Spanish aguila (eagle) combined with English wood, though the etymology is debated; some scholars suggest it may derive from a Malay or indigenous term that was later Hispanicized.
Many precious woods have confusing names because spice and timber traders often changed them to make goods sound more exotic or valuable. Aguilawood's actual origin might be completely different from what its current name suggests!
