It is Linguistics. In English a "chill" means, cool but not really cold. Chilly is a state of being, "he was chilly".
Chilli is Spanish, it is a form of vegetable, a spicy pepper.
The heat is a spicy heat not a temperature.

Why is sun a star and son a male offspring?
Why is rain precipitation, rein a part of a horses bridle and reign what a king does?
Some words sound the same but are spelled differently. These are called homophones and usually have completely unrelated meanings.

First you have to know how to spell chili; then you have to realize Chili is not the same as chilly---just like bore and boar are not the same.

the chili pepper actually stole its name from the country of chile. when the first explorers came over they called it the chili pepper since they brought it from their colony in chile. chilly just comes from our word chill, which came from old english's cele.

" Chili " is just a Spanish term taken from an indigenous term for the plant the peppers come from.
