Copal is a name given to tree resin, particularly the aromatic resins from the copal tree Protium copal (Burseraceae) used by the cultures of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as ceremonially burned incense and for other purposes. More generally, the term copal describes resinous substances in an intermediate stage of polymerization and hardening between "gummier" resins and amber.
The word copal is derived from the Nahuatl language word copalli, meaning "incense". although the word itself has been demonstrated to be a loanword to Mayan from Mixe–Zoquean languages.
