Etymology
Greek τεκίλα is a direct loan from Spanish tequila. The Spanish word comes from the name of the town of Tequila in the Mexican state of Jalisco, where the drink originated, and that place name traces back to Nahuatl. Greek adopted the word whole in the 20th century as the drink spread internationally, with no adaptation beyond normal Greek spelling and stress.
