What does MOCHA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A flavouring or drink made by combining coffee with chocolate, or the light reddish-brown colour associated with it.
Mocha takes its name from the Yemeni port of Mocha, once a major centre for the coffee trade, and the word later attached itself to coffee blended with chocolate in cafes and recipes. From the drink the name spread to a shade of warm, reddish brown used to describe paint, fabric and leather. The two senses, drink and colour, are now used quite independently of each other and of the original port. Menus and paint charts both use mocha without expecting any link back to its geographic origin.
How MOCHA is used
Common in everyday use for both the coffee-and-chocolate drink and the matching brown colour, especially on cafe menus and in descriptions of clothing or decor.
