āhuacatl = Avocado in Classical Nahuatl
Classical Nahuatl (also known as Aztec) was spoken in Mexico at the time of Spanish conquest in the 16th-century. Today it is considered extinct but it lives modern Nahuan languages which evolved from the Classical Nahuatl. The word “avocado” originates in the Classical Nahuatl “āhuacatl”and it got to other languages through Spanish. It is “auakatl” in Central Huasteca (modern Nahuatl).
To me “avocado” is one of those words that looks good and sounds well but it tastes awefully. As it happens I hate avocado.
