🌳Etymology
Origin
The word derives from French 'café' (coffee), which was adopted into scientific nomenclature as 'caffeine' in the 19th century when German chemists isolated the alkaloid compound from coffee beans. The suffix '-ated' was subsequently added to form the adjective describing something containing or affected by caffeine.
Breakdown
caffeine (the alkaloid stimulant compound) + -ated (suffix indicating a state or condition, meaning 'containing or treated with').
