[ 'ke-ch&p, 'ka- ] (noun.) circa 1690. 1711, following earlier catchup (1690), of disputed origin.“The etymological origin of the word ketchup is a matter of confusion.” Pure Ketchup, by Andrew F. Smith, ISBN 1-56098-993-9. Page 4. Originally referred to an sauce from South/Southeast/East Asia – 1690: East Indies|East Indies]] (region generally); 1711: Tonkin|Tonkin]] (northern Vietnam) and China. Most likely from Malay kicap, from Chinese Min Nan 鮭汁 (kê-chiap, “brine of fish (namely salmon)”), though precise path is unclear – there are related words in various Chinese dialects, and it may have entered English directly from Chinese. Cognate to Indonesian kecap, ketjap (“soy sauce”). Various other theories exist – see Ketchup: Etymology for extended discussion. Catsup (earlier catchup) is an alternative Anglicization, still in use in U.S.
