Frances Karttunen: 

XŌCHIYŌ-TL suet, grease / grasa, grosura, o enjundia (M) [(1)Cf.53r]. This is homophonous with the abstract derivation XŌCHIYŌ-TL ‘essence of flowers’ from XŌCHI-TL but it should not be taken as necessarily an extension of it. It may be derivationally related to CHIYAN-TLI ‘chia, oilseed.’
Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 329.
