Forms: α. (1500s caoua, chaoua, 1600s cahve, coava, coave, cahu, coho, kauhi, kahue, cauwa); β. 1600s coffa, caffa, capha; γ. 1600s caphe, cauphe, cophie, coffi(e, coffey, coffea, coffy, 1600s–1700s coffe, cophee, caufee, 1600s– coffee.

Etymology: < Arabic qahwah, in Turkish pronounced kahveh, the name of the infusion or beverage; said by Arab lexicographers to have originally meant ‘wine’ or some kind of wine, and to be a derivative of a verb-root qahiya ‘to have no appetite.’ Some have conjectured that it is a foreign, perhaps African, word disguised, and have thought it connected with the name of Kaffa in the south Ethiopian highlands, where the plant appears to be native. But of this there is no evidence, and the name qahwah is not given to the berry or plant, which is called bunn, the name in Shoa being būn. The European languages generally appear to have got the name from Turkish kahveh, about 1600, perhaps through Italian caffè; compare French café, Spanish café, Portuguese café, German kaffee, Danish, Swedish kaffe. The English coffee, Dutch koffie, earlier German coffee, koffee, Russian kophe, kopheĭ, have o, apparently representing earlier au < ahw or ahv.

a. A drink made by infusion or decoction from the seeds of a shrub (see 3), roasted and ground or (in the East) pounded; extensively used as a beverage, and acting as a moderate stimulant.black coffee: see the first element.

单词	coffee
释义	coffeen. Brit. /ˈkɒfi/, U.S. /ˈkɔfi/, /ˈkɑfi/ Forms: α. (1500s caoua, chaoua, 1600s cahve, coava, coave, cahu, coho, kauhi, kahue, cauwa); β. 1600s coffa, caffa, capha; γ. 1600s caphe, cauphe, cophie, coffi(e, coffey, coffea, coffy, 1600s–1700s coffe, cophee, caufee, 1600s– coffee. Etymology: < Arabic qahwah, in Turkish pronounced kahveh, the name of the infusion or beverage; said by Arab lexicographers to have originally meant ‘wine’ or some kind of wine, and to be a derivative of a verb-root qahiya ‘to have no appetite.’ Some have conjectured that it is a foreign, perhaps African, word disguised, and have thought it connected with the name of Kaffa in the south Ethiopian highlands, where the plant appears to be native. But of this there is no evidence, and the name qahwah is not given to the berry or plant, which is called bunn, the name in Shoa being būn. The European languages generally appear to have got the name from Turkish kahveh, about 1600, perhaps through Italian caffè; compare French café, Spanish café, Portuguese café, German kaffee, Danish, Swedish kaffe. The English coffee, Dutch koffie, earlier German coffee, koffee, Russian kophe, kopheĭ, have o, apparently representing earlier au < ahw or ahv. 1. a. A drink made by infusion or decoction from the seeds of a shrub (see 3), roasted and ground or (in the East) pounded; extensively used as a beverage, and acting as a moderate stimulant.black coffee: see the first element.
