Terminology

The latin word for olive, oleum, consists of two notions: the Cretan word "elaeva" which means olive and the semitic "ulu".

In spanish language the term "aceite" derives from the arab word for olive, al zaytun. "Oliva" in spanish language means only the olive tree, not the olive itself.
