It came from the Chinese word, koechiap. It was a brine of fish. Tomatoes were now added to the recipe until later.

Is American and is used by the English.
Hundreds of years ago, the Chinese and Malaysians used the brine from pickled fish as dipping sauces. It was called kachiap. In the 1600s, wealthy people in Britain began to use the brine from pickled walnuts and mushrooms, and they called it catsup. Then colonists settling in America brought the catsup with them, and the modern ketchup we know today, with tomatoes, became popular in the 1870s in the US. In the 1830s ketchup had been sold in the US as a medicine!
