tafian.

Brit.

/ˈtafɪə/, U.S.

/ˈtæfiə/

Forms: Also 1700s taffia, taffey, taffy.

Etymology: Origin uncertain: given in 1722 as a name used in the West Indies (Labat Voy. aux Iles de l' Amér. III. 410 L'eau-de-vie qu'on tire des cannes est appelée guildive [see kill-devil n. and adj. ]; les sauvages et les nègres l'appellent tafia): but tāfīa is also given in Malay dictionaries as ‘a spirit distilled from molasses’. The word appears therefore to be widely diffused in east and west.

A rum-like spirituous liquor obtained from the lower grades of molasses, refuse brown sugar, etc.
