The Spanish word for avocado derives from Nahuatl.
Awakatl -> aguacate.
The English word is an old spelling for advocate. Some dude confused both back in the day.
Now if someone would fix this historical issue with marketing, would make me very happy.
- ASalazarMX 8y agoThe correct spelling of the Nahuatl root is "āhuacatl".
- Shorel 8y agoI found this spelling here https://nah.wiktionary.org/wiki/awakatl https://nah.wiktionary.org/wiki/awakatl I think both spellings refer to the same sounds.
