caramelo

Etymology

From Old Galician-Portuguese caramelo, from Late Latin calamellus, diminutive of Latin calamus, or alternatively from Medieval Latin cannamellis (“honey cane”), probably from Latin canna + mellis, genitive of mel (“honey”). Another theory gives the Medieval Latin word an Arabic origin.
