III.Significance of the study
With this study,the researchers can learn that the seeds of avocado can be used as an
alternative ink for markers.The researchers found out that it contains a lot of toxin inside and that
we can use for making inks.Since avocado is one of the delicious fruit the researchers create
something new from the seeds of avocado.The researchers made this ink because don’t afford to

IV.Review Of Related Literature
The avocado (Persea americana) originated in south-central Mexico, sometime between
7,000 and 5,000 B.C. But it was several millennia before this wild variety was cultivated.
Archaeologists in Peru have found domesticated avocado seeds buried with Incan mummies
dating back to 750 B.C. and there is evidence that avocados were cultivated in Mexico as early
as 500 B.C
The word "avocado" comes from the Spanish aguacate, which in turn comes from the
Nahuatl word āhuacatl [aːˈwakat͡ɬ], which goes back to the proto-Aztecan *pa:wa which also
meant "avocado".Sometimes the Nahuatl word was used with the meaning "testicle", probably
because of the likeness between the fruit and the body part.
The modern English name comes from an English rendering of the Spanish aguacate as
avogato. The earliest known written use in English is attested from 1697 as "avogato pear", a
term which was later corrupted as "alligator pear". Because the word avogato sounded like
"advocate", several languages reinterpreted it to have that meaning. French uses avocat, which
also means lawyer, and "advocate" — forms of the word appear in several Germanic languages,
such as the (now obsolete) German Advogato-Birne, the old Danish advokat-pære (today it is
called avocado) and the Dutch advocaatpeer.
