Hyphenated as
coc‧chiù‧me
Pronounced as (IPA)
/kokˈkju.me/
Etymology

Uncertain. Several theories exist. Possibly from a central-northern Italian word (cf. cocón) ultimately derived from Latin calcāre (“to press”), or from a derivative of Latin caucus, from Ancient Greek káukē. Alternatively, from a corchiume, related to Spanish corcho (cf. English cork), from Latin cortex.
