Definition chocolate

Etymology

Via Spanish chocolate from a Nahuatl [Term?] word, widely given as chocol?tl (with the second element being a reflex of Classical Nahuatl ?tl (“water”)), although such a word does not appear in Nahuatl until the mid-18th century according to Karttunen. Dakin and Wichmann propose chicol?tl as the original form (saying it survives in several modern Nahuatl dialects) and say the chicol- element refers to a special wooden stick used to prepare chocolate. Another theory is that the prefix came from Yucatec Maya chocol (“hot”).
