331 www.iccadubai.ae Etymology The word "chocolate" comes from the Aztecs in Mexico. It is derived from the Nahuatl word xocolatl which is an amalgamation of two words. The first half of the word means "bitter", and the second half means "water". The Aztecs used to associate chocolate with their goddess of fertility. Chocolate has also been associated with the Mayan god of fertility. Another theory behind the name is that Spaniards coined the word by taking the Mayan word Cocoa and Chocolate
