datil

A datil pepper, a very spicy pepper of the species Capsicum chinense.

The first Datil was probably brought to the United States from the West Indies during either the British period or the second Spanish occupation of East Florida (1784–1821).[…] The word “Dátil” refers to the fruit of the date palm, both in Spanish and in the language of the Minorcans who named the pepper in St. Augustine.

No one knows if the colonists brought datil peppers with them.[…] More than likely the Minorcans did give the incendiary peppers their name, for the green to gold pods somewhat resemble dates, a linkage cemented by the knowledge that datil is the word for the fruit of the date palm in both the Catalan and Spanish languages.
