Avokado
Neozhidannaja etimologija u "avokado". Ja dumal, s "advokatom" kak-to svjazano. A okazalos', chto vse tak dumajut, i vse nepravy:
avocado - 1763, from Sp. avocado, altered (by folk etymology influence of avocado "lawyer," from same L. source as advocate) from earlier aguacate, from Nahuatl ahuakatl "testicle." So called for its shape.
Otsjuda associacija: "advokat" - "jajcegolovyj".
Da i "axuakatl'" neploxo zvuchit:)
