Word: смола́,
Near etymology: смоль ж., укр. смола́, блр. смоль, др.-русск., сербск.-цслав. смола ἄσφαλτος, болг. смола́ (Младенов 594), сербохорв. смо̀ла "смола", словен. smóla, чеш. smola, smůla, слвц. smola, польск. smоɫа, в.-луж. smоɫа, н.-луж. smóɫa, полаб. smǘlа "смола, ад, печь". Др. ступень чередования гласных: сма́лить (см.).
Further etymology: Родственно лтш. smel̨i мн. "смолистые поленья", лит. smė̃lа "тлеет", smelà "смола", smil̃kti, smilkstù "слегка дымить", smilkýti, smilkaũ "курить благовониями", нж.-нем. smelen "гореть долго и дымно", ср.-англ. smolder "дым"; см. Эндзелин, СБЭ 194; KZ 52, 119; М.--Э. 3, 357; Младенов, там же; Петерссон, ArArmStud. 135; Потебня, РФВ 4, 205; Коржинек, LF 61, 44. Отсюда произведен др.-русск. гидроним Смольня, откуда название города Смоле́нск, др.-русск. Смольньскъ, др.-сканд. Smalenskja (Шварц, AfslPh 41, 131). Согласно Погодину (Мél. Belić 83), назван так потому, что там смолили суда. Лит. smalà "смола, вар", вост.-лтш. smala -- то же заимств. из слав. (М.--Э. 3, 953, 959).

Altaic etymology :

Proto-Altaic: *sằmù
Meaning: tar, soot, fumigation
Russian meaning: деготь, сажа; окуривание
Comments: Phonetically a good match, but otherwise not quite reliable: if the Turkic parallel is to be removed as a late loanword, the semantic match between 'fumigation' in TM and 'charcoal' in Japanese becomes less convincing.

Proto-Turkic: *samala ?
Meaning: tar
Russian meaning: деготь
Middle Turkic: samla, samala (MA, AH, CCum.) Chuvash: sъʷmala
Comments: VEWT 399. It is also worth noting Bashk. humalaq 'lump of clay' and Tat. sumala 'tar' (possibly < Chuv.). Федотов 2, 23-24. The word is attested quite late and is usually regarded as borrowed < Russ. смола. This might be true, but let us note that no other Russian words were hitherto discovered in Chagatai. turcet-prnum,turcet-meaning,turcet-rusmean,turcet-chg,turcet-chv,turcet-reference,
