köken: From the root ع ل ب (ʕ l b). Compared by Paul Haupt to Akkadian 𒀀𒆷𒈪𒌅 (a-la-mi-tu /alamittu, elamittu, alabattu/, “a kind of palm-tree”), as عُلْبَة (ʕulba), عَلَبَة (ʕalaba), collective عُلَب (ʕulab), is also recorded as the name of a tall palm-tree, from which the box would have been made; comparing also the vessel name Ancient Greek ἀλάβαστος (alábastos), ἀλάβαστρος (alábastros).
köken: From Middle Dutch dōse, possibly via Middle Low German, ultimately from Late Latin dosis. Dutch doos is directly, and German Dose is indirectly, from the same source.
