First attested in 1582. From Hindi काफ़ी (kāfī), from English coffee, from Dutch koffie (“coffee”), from Italian caffè (“coffee”), from Ottoman Turkish قهوه (kahve, “coffee”), from Arabic قَهْوَة (qahwa, “coffee, a brew”), potentially traced back to the name of the Kaffa region of Ethiopia, which is an Omotic word.
