Best Answer

It was 'borrowed' from Spanish, as many other words such as altiplano, zocalo, conquistador, adobe, machete or salsa.

The original word came from the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations located in Mexico: (Aztec: xocolatl - pronounced shocolatl), (Maya: chocolha). It means 'bitter water'.
