The word 'squid' is believed to have appeared in the early 17th century, but the origin is unknown. Both the Collins and Oxford dictionaries list the origin as 'unknown'.
It has been suggested that 'squid' is similar to squishy and squirt - describing the texture and behaviour of the squid. This is purely based on the similarities of the words - which may be coincidental and not relate to the origin.
