cokelat

Indonesian

Etymology

From dialectal Dutch (Standard Dutch chocolade, archaic form chocolaad), from Spanish chocolate, ultimately of Nahuatl origin (compare Malay coklat). The current pronunciation is influenced by English chocolate (see Malay coklat), or the second -o- of chocolade is dropped.
