/kəʊk//kəʊk/

The word "Coke" has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century. The term originated from Dr. John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, who developed a tonic called "Pemberton's French Wine Cathartic" in 1886. The drink was marketed as a "brain tonic and intellectual beverage" that could cure headaches and relieve fatigue. Later, Pemberton added carbonated water to the drink, and it became known as "Coca-Cola," a name that was supposedly inspired by two of its ingredients: coca leaves and kola nuts. The name was later shortened to simply "Coke" in informal contexts, particularly in the United States. Today, "Coke" is a widely recognized brand name and a cultural icon, symbolizing a refreshing and iconic beverage.
