means The seed of the cacao tree, harvested from its pods and fermented and dried to become the raw material for chocolate and cocoa.

from From Spanish 'cacao,' borrowed from Nahuatl 'cacahuatl,' the Aztec word for the bean itself — the name traveled to Europe along with the pods after Spanish contact with Mesoamerica, where cacao had already been cultivated and prized, even used as currency, for centuries. 'Cocoa' is actually just an English mispronunciation of 'cacao' that stuck hard enough to become its own word, now oddly used for the powder while 'cacao' stays attached to the raw bean and tree.
