Etymology

The word 'spud' is believed to have originated from the late 15th century when it referred to a small knife or spade used for digging. The term likely comes from the Middle English word 'spudde', which means 'a digging tool'. Over time, 'spud' became associated specifically with potatoes, possibly because they were commonly harvested using such tools. In agricultural contexts, the verb 'spud' evolved, leading to the form 'spudded' when indicating the action of harvest or digging. This connection emphasizes the agricultural origins of linguistic terms that relate to farming practices.
