with aloe added
Etymology
'aloe-enriched' originates from English as a compound, combining 'aloe' (from Latin 'aloe' < Greek 'aloē', “aloe”) and 'enriched' (past participle of 'enrich', from Old French 'enrichir', based on 'riche', “rich”).
'aloe' entered English via Latin and Greek, while 'enrich' developed from Old French 'enrichir' through Middle English; these elements combined in modern English to form the compound 'aloe-enriched'.
Initially, it literally meant “made richer with aloe,” and it continues to denote that a product has aloe added for beneficial properties.
