Etymology

The word 'squash' comes from the Narragansett word 'askรบtasquash,' meaning 'eaten raw or uncooked.' This term was adopted into English in the late 17th century, initially referring to the vegetable family including pumpkins and zucchinis. As the language evolved, the verb 'to squash' emerged, denoting the act of crushing or flattening something. The suffix '-ier' is a comparative adjective form, indicating more of a quality. Thus, 'squashier' logically formed to describe something that exhibits greater squishiness or softness than its counterpart. Language development shows how words transition in their meanings and applications over time, reflecting societal changes and the flexibility of English as it adapts to new contexts and usages.
