It’s a sad state of affairs that the meaning of “spicy” has essentially been reduced to the scoville score. Did the VOC even deal with chili peppers?

Chili peppers came from the Americas, so at least initially not. It was mostly black pepper, clove and nutmeg iirc.
The proper term for that is ‘pungent’.
To me, that sounds more like overripe fruit than like cinnamon, nutmeg etc.
Piquant.

Oh, they wanted the spice alright.
But not for food. For money.
