Definition coffee

Etymology

From Dutch koffie (“coffee”) [from 1582], from Italian caffè (“coffee”), from Ottoman Turkish ????‎ (kahve, “coffee”), from Arabic ???????‎ (qahwa, “coffee, a brew”). The Arabic word originally referred to wine, a drink which was traditionally mixed and served hot in a similar manner. In Arabic "to brew" utilizes the same trilateral root as wine and intoxicant; see ? ? ?‎ (?-m-r) to cover over, presumably with hot water. Other sources instead claim it traces back to the name of the Kaffa region of Ethiopia, which is an Omotic word.
