Avocado's name means 'testicle' in Aztec language

The word 'avocado' comes from the Nahuatl term 'āhuacatl,' used by the Aztecs in ancient Mexico. Intriguingly, this word referred to both the fruit and, more literally, a testicle. This descriptive name likely came from the fruit's oval shape and how it hangs in pairs from the tree, resembling that anatomy.
