coffee
Arabic qahwa, an old poetic word for wine, was given to the new Sufi drink of 15th-century Yemen; Ottoman coffeehouses made it kahve for the Balkans and Hungary, Venice made it caffè, and Dutch koffie gave English its shape, while Dutch and French planters carried the word to Java, Japan, Brazil and Vietnam.

The story you may have heardThe word is often said to come from Kaffa, the Ethiopian region where coffee grows wild. Some dictionaries (Etymonline among them) still allow it, but the evidence is against it: in Kaffa coffee is called būno (which Arabic borrowed as bunn 'coffee beans'), and Arabic qahwa already meant 'wine' long before anyone drank coffee.
