Этимология (Английский)

Deverbal from bicar.
According to folk etymology, the coffee sense is an acronym of Beba Isto Com Açúcar (“drink this with sugar”). This etymology appears to have come from a 1998 text, however, and the term most likely came about as a way to differentiate between machine coffee and coffeepot coffee.
