Knoblauch
German
Etymology
From Middle High German knobelouch, with dissimilation from Old High German chlobalouh (literally “clove-leek”); compare klieben (“cleave”) and Lauch (“leek”). The initial kl- was later adapted to the large group of terms for thick objects beginning with kn- (cf. Knopf, Knoten, Knolle, etc.). The same in Dutch knoflook.
