History
Native Oaxaca criollo avocados, the ancestral form of today's domesticated varieties
Persea americana, or the avocado, is believed to have originated in the state of Puebla, Mexico,[5] though fossil evidence suggests similar species were much more widespread millions of years ago, occurring as far north as California[3] when the climate of that region was more hospitable to them.[6]
The native, undomesticated variety is known as a criollo, and is small, with dark black skin, and contains a large seed.[7] It probably coevolved with extinct megafauna.[8] The oldest evidence of avocado use was found in a cave located in Coxcatlán, Puebla, Mexico, that dates to around 10,000 BC. The avocado tree also has a long history of cultivation in Central and South America, likely beginning as early as 5,000 BC.[5] A water jar shaped like an avocado, dating to AD 900, was discovered in the pre-Incan city of Chan Chan.[9]
The earliest known written account of the avocado in Europe is that of Martín Fernández de Enciso (circa 1470-1528) in 1519 in his book, Suma De Geographia Que Trata De Todas Las Partidas Y Provincias Del Mundo.[10][11] The first written record in English of the use of the word 'avocado' was by Hans Sloane in a 1696 index of Jamaican plants. The plant was introduced to Indonesia in 1750, Brazil in 1809, South Africa and Australia in the late 19th century, and the Levant in 1908.
Etymology
The word "avocado" comes from the Spanish aguacate, which in turn comes from the Nahuatl word āhuacatl [awakat],[12] which goes back to the proto-Aztecan *pa:wa which also meant "avocado".[13] Sometimes the Nahuatl word was used with the meaning "testicle", probably because of the likeness between the fruit and the body part.[14]
The modern English name is not etymologically related to the similar-sounding Spanish word abogado, meaning 'lawyer' (as in advocate), but comes through an English rendering of the Spanish aguacate as avogato. The earliest known written use in English is attested from 1697 as "avogato pear", a term which was later corrupted as "alligator pear".[15] Because the word avogato sounded like "advocate", several languages reinterpreted it to have that meaning. French uses avocat, which also means lawyer, and "advocate"-forms of the word appear in several Germanic languages, such as the (now obsolete) German Advogato-Birne, the old Danish advokat-pære (today it is called "avocado") and the Dutch advocaatpeer.[16]
Regional names
In other Central American and Caribbean Spanish-speaking countries, it is known by the Mexican name, while South American Spanish-speaking countries use a Quechua-derived word, palta. In Portuguese, it is abacate. The fruit is sometimes called an avocado pear or alligator pear (due to its shape and the rough green skin of some cultivars).[3] The Nahuatl ahuacatl can be compounded with other words, as in ahuacamolli, meaning avocado soup or sauce, from which the Spanish word guacamole derives.[17]
In the United Kingdom, the term "avocado pear" is still sometimes misused as applied when avocados first became commonly available in the 1960s.[18] It is known as "butter fruit" in parts of India and goes by the name "b" [] in Vietnamese, which is the same word that is used for butter.[19] In eastern China, it is known as è lí ("alligator pear") or huángyóu gu ("butter fruit"). In Taiwan, it is known as luò lí or "cheese pear".
