The words "ketchup" and "catsup" both come from the Malay word "kechap," from the Chinese word "ketsiap," a sauce made from fermented fish and brine. Pickled fish sauce may not sound all that appealing on french fries, but the Malay word "kechap" itself really only meant "taste." After the word migrated into English in the 17th century (as "catchup," still an accepted spelling), it was applied to a variety of sauces and condiments. It was only with the importation of the tomato to Europe from its native habitat in South America that what we now know as ketchup was born. Modern ketchup is made of tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar and spices

Ketchup is an English word. It may derive from a word in the Malayan language kechap, a sauce of fish origin. A Chinese word koe-chiap, also a fish based sauce, may be the earliest origin.

Is ketchup a mixture compound or element?

Ketchup is not on the periodic table of elements therefore it is not an element. Ketchup does not have a single chemical name like H20 (water) or H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid), therefore is not a compound. Ketchup consists mainly of a mixture of vinegar and tomatoes, which aren't elements or compounds themselves, therefore ketchup is a mixture of a lot of molecules.
