- 1655, earlier chaa (1598, from Port. cha), from Malay teh and directly from Chinese (Amoy dialect) t'e, in Mandarin ch'a. The distribution of the different forms of the word reflects the spread of use of the beverage. The modern Eng. form, along with Fr. the, Sp. te, Ger. Tee, etc., derive via Du. thee from the Amoy form, reflecting the role of the Dutch as the chief importers of the leaves (through the Dutch East India Company, from 1610). The practice of drinking tea was first introduced to England 1644. The Port. form came via Macao, and Rus. chai, Pers. cha, Gk. tsai, Ar. shay and Turk. зay all came overland from the Mandarin form. Meaning "afternoon meal at which tea is served" is from 1738. The tea-rose (1850) has a scent supposed to resemble tea. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
