chicle : ウィキペディア英語版
chicle

Chicle () is a natural gum traditionally used in making chewing gum and other products. It is collected from several species of Mesoamerican trees in the ''Manilkara'' genus, including ''M. zapota'', ''M. chicle'', ''M. staminodella'', and ''M. bidentata''.〔(Chicle ), Merriam-Webster.com. Retrieved March 17, 2011.〕
The tapping of the gum is similar to the tapping of latex from the rubber tree: zig-zag gashes are made in the tree trunk and the dripping gum is collected in small bags. It is then boiled until it reaches the correct thickness. Locals who collect chicle are called ''chicleros''.
==Etymology==
The word ''chicle'' comes from the Nahuatl word for the gum, ''tziktli'' (), which can be translated as "sticky stuff". Alternatively, "chichle" may have come from the Mayan word ''tsicte''.〔(Mexicolore article on chicle )〕 Chicle was well known to the Nahuatl-Aztecs and to the Maya, and early European settlers prized it for its subtle flavor and high sugar content. The ancient word is still used in the Americas, ''chicle'' being a common term for chewing gum in Spanish and ''chiclete'' being the Portuguese term (both in Brazil and in parts of Portugal). The word has also been exported to other languages such as Greek, which refers to chewing gum as 'tsichla'.
