I thought Chocolate came from the aztec word “Xhoquatl”(sp), Not the French.

Just looked it up. Comes from Nahuatl language “chocolatl” (sinplified spelling) to which the French Added an “E”, ditched the last “L” and proudly ripped off.

Cultural appropriation, France. That ain’t right.

Chocolate comes to both English and French from Mayan via Spanish.
