Mongolian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Probably originally a variant of лууль (luulʹ, “oak-leaved goosefoot”) that got associated with the phrase улаан лооль/лууль (ulaan loolʹ/luulʹ, “tomato”) and later came to mean tomato by itself. If true, the further origin would be a borrowing from Chinese 灰綠藜/灰绿藜 (huīlǜlí, “oak-leaved goosefoot”).
Noun[edit]
лооль • (loolʹ) (Mongolian spelling ᠯᠣᠣᠯᠢ (looli))
