From the root ل ف ف (l f f) meaning “to fold up or roll up in”, “to wrap or envelop”, “an envelope of a plant, a pericarp or glume”. Also suspicious of Aramaic substrate however, as Classical Syriac ܠܘܦܐ (lawpā, lūpā) means “parietary” and “arum” or “edder-wort”, deriving well from ܠܴܦ (lāp̄, “to weave together, to conjoin”), and the form لُوف (lūf) is stronger in the dialects with the additional meaning of “arum”, which is mentioned for Syriac already in the 1ˢᵗ-century Dioskurides interpolations 2:167. Compare the Aramaic-borrowed كَافُور (kāfūr, “bract of the inflorescence of the date palm”) and خُوص (ḵūṣ, “frond or leaves of the palm tree”) from similar semantic domain.
