Question

From which language is the word ‘ketchup’ derived?

Answer 1

Ketchup may have entered the English language from the Malay word kicap (pron. "kichap", sometimes spelled kecap or ketjap). Originally meaning "fish sauce", the word itself derives from the Chinese terms above. In Indonesian cuisine, which is similar to Malay, the term kecap refers to fermented savory sauces.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hokkien Chinese

It turns out ketchup's origins are anything but American. Ketchup comes from the Hokkien Chinese word, kê-tsiap, the name of a sauce derived from fermented fish. It is believed that traders brought fish sauce from Vietnam to southeastern China.
