Etymology
The word 'coke' has its roots in the English language and is derived from the word 'coke' which refers to the process of converting coal into fuel. The beverage Coca-Cola was created in the late 19th century by John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia, and the name is a combination of the coca leaf and the kola nut, both used to flavor the drink. Initially, the drink was intended to be a medicinal tonic. As the drink gained popularity, the term 'Coke' became a colloquial shorthand for the beverage, especially in the United States. The word 'coke' itself has been used for various forms of carbonized materials since at least the 17th century.
