Word origin
The word 'spud' originated as a slang term for a potato in the early 19th century. It is believed to have derived from the digging tool 'spud' used by gardeners and farmers. Over time, 'spud' became a common term for potatoes in various English-speaking regions. The use of 'spud' to refer to a small digging tool is also well-documented in historical texts.
