The word "tomato" (Solanum lycopersicum, first attested in English in 1604Haugen 2009) comes from Nahuatl /toma-tl/ <tomatl>.
It has been proposed (by whom?) that Nahuatl tomatl is related to the Nahua verb toma:wa "to become fat", but if this were the case the verb would be derived from the noun root. Rather it seems that this root is a loan into Proto-Nahuatl from an Otopamean language.
