Etymology
The word 'squash' originated from the Narragansett language, where 'askutasquash' meant 'green vegetable eaten green.' The term was later shortened to 'squash' and became popular in English in the 17th century. Squash as a vegetable has been cultivated for thousands of years, with various types like zucchini, pumpkin, and acorn squash being widely consumed around the world. The sport of squash, on the other hand, developed in the 19th century in England as a variation of the game of rackets.
