In the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement regarding garlic and onions that they are from a foul tree, is the term "foul" here to be understood as having another meaning of foulness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding garlic and onions that they are from the foul things, meaning from foul trees, has been reported. Is the term "foul" here to be understood as having another meaning of foulness other than the apparent foulness?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt about it. It is foul because it emits a foul smell.

The questioner : Is it valid to cite as evidence the verse in which He, the Exalted, says:
The foul things are forbidden to you يحرم عليكم الخبائث
?
