Morphology
mochaccino = mocha + cappuccino (transparent) = mocha + ccino
The word is a blend of 'mocha' and the '-ccino' element from 'cappuccino', so its meaning as a chocolate-flavoured espresso drink with milk is predictable from the base words.
Etymology
Mochaccino comes from mocha, a name for coffee linked to the Yemeni port Mokha and to chocolate, plus the Italian ending -ino meaning 'small' and the Italian coffee word cappuccino. So, a mochaccino is like a 'small mocha' or a mocha made like a cappuccino, which is why it is a coffee drink with chocolate, espresso, and steamed milk.
