The word ketchup may have come from Chinese (Amoy or Cantonese dialect) koechiap, k'e chap, or ke-tsiap 'spiced fish sauce; brine of pickled fish', which was likely borrowed from Malay kechap or kecap!. Ketchup was recorded around 1711, after catchup (1690) but before catsup (1730)!. It was not until the early twentieth century that tomato ketchup came into being, replacing the vinegar-based sauce as the main usage!.
