What language does the word chocolate come from ?
Noting that using a word with " caca " in it to describe a thick brown beverage would not have gone over well with most speakers of Spanish because " caca " means ' faeces ' in Spanish , the Coes suggest that the Spanish colonisers combined the Nahuatl " atl " with the Yucatec Maya " chocol " , for , unlike the Aztec , the Maya tended to drink chocolate heated .
