Assilag

/ˈæsɪlæɡ/ noun

Definition

A tropical tree of West Africa, or the hard reddish wood produced by this tree, used for construction and tool-making.

Etymology

From a West African language, possibly Yoruba or another Niger-Congo language. The word entered English through colonial contact with West African timber trade.

Kelly Says

Assilag is one of those English words that reveals colonial history—European traders needed a word for a wood they encountered in Africa, so they borrowed the local name rather than translating it.
