What latte means
A hot coffee drink made by combining espresso with steamed milk and topped with a thin layer of milk foam.
Where the word comes from
From Italian *caffè latte*, literally "coffee milk," where *caffè* comes from Arabic *qahwah* (wine or coffee) and *latte* derives from Latin *lactis* (milk). The drink became popular in Italy and Austria in the 17th century as espresso culture developed, and the term entered English in the late 20th century as American coffee shops embraced Italian-style beverages.
