Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.

I pronounce Chipotle with the same emphasis as Aristotle
Same as you, but in my defense I’ve never heard it out loud. A mexican friend taught me the correct way, I then understood the word comes from Nahuatl
Similarly, chocolate and coyote and tomato are also Aztec/Nahuatl words in origin. Which means our pronunciation is likely inaccurate
cool !!
Avocado is our English speaking ancestor’s poor attempt at the Nahuatl word “ahuacatl.”

Do it the other way around and it will sound closer to the original pronunciation of Aristotle.
