Chocolatier
A chocolatier is someone who makes chocolate confections—the English word, from French, is from 1865.
The word chocolate comes from Nahuatl (Aztecan) chocola-tl; the word chocolate bean is cacahua-tl (a-tl = water). The Aztecs made a chocolate drink with cold water. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, they made a chocolate drink with hot water. Chocolate arrived in Spain in 1520 and ‘hot chocolate’ drinks quickly spread across Europe. The word chocolate comes to English from Mexican Spanish around 1600.
Chocolate as a reddish-brown color is from 1776. Chocolate as a paste or cake made of ground, roasted, sweetened, cacao seeds is from the 1640s. Chocolate candy is from the 1880s. Chocolate chip is from 1940.
