mokka

First attested in 1796. From German Mokka, from English mocha coffee, from Mocha, Yemen, a port on the Red Sea, from Arabic اَلْمُخَا (al-muḵā), due to its being a major marketplace for coffee during Ottoman rule. The original meaning of mokka was a “type of coffee bean”, the strong black coffee sense developed from the separated first component of the compound word mokkakávé (“mocha coffee”).
