The word "chili" comes from the Nahuatl language, spoken by the Aztecs, where it is referred to as "chīlli." The term was adopted into Spanish as "Chile," which then made its way into English. The use of the word relates primarily to the spicy fruit of Capsicum species, commonly used in various cuisines around the world. Over time, it has come to represent both the pepper itself and dishes that feature it prominently.
