The word coffee entered English in the late 16th century via Dutch koffie, derived from Ottoman Turkish kahve, which itself came from Arabic qahwa. The Arabic term originally referred to a type of wine but later shifted to mean the energizing drink made from coffee beans. The spread of coffee from Ethiopia to the Arab world and eventually Europe popularized the word globally, retaining its phonetic core across languages.
