Is cafeteria a word adopted from spanish?

While it shares a root with the Spanish word "café" (meaning coffee), the word "cafeteria" actually comes from Latin.

Here's the breakdown:

* Latin: "cafetaria" (meaning "coffee house")

* Italian: "caffetteria"

* English: "cafeteria"

The word was first used in English in the early 20th century to describe a self-service restaurant, specifically one serving coffee and other light meals.
