Have you guessed what fruit they're talking about here? When the Spaniards (not Dutch) conquered Mexico and discovered the fruit, they assimilated its Nahuatl name, ''"āhuacatl"'', into their own language as ''"aguacate"''. This was later borrowed into French as ''"avocat"'' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSaRuVS1LHA which incidentally also means "lawyer"]) and into English, Dutch and many other European languages as "avocado".
