(a loanword from Spanish)
In the eighteenth century we see a neologism that was created as a synonym for "botica" = tepatiliznamacoyan (18th c.; coined by a Dr. Bartolache, who was not a native speaker but had studied classical Nahuatl)
Auh monamacaz ompa Tepatiliznamacoyan inicalnacazco, Botica Santa Inès, inixpan Tlatocayopancalli, campa mochihua in tomin. = Y se venderá allá lugar donde se vende medicina (Botica) en la esquina, Botica Santa Inés, enfrente edificio con corona (palacio), donde se hace el dinero. (centro de México, s. XVIII)
Se ve el neologismo hecho por un Dr. Bartolache en el siglo XVIII, "tepatiliznamacoyan" para decir "botica." (s. XVIII; por un Dr. Bartolache, quien no era nativohablante, pero estudiante del náhuatl clásico)
