The sounds of the word ketchup and catsup are English approximations of the words for fish sauce or other spicy sauces from Asia. Since there is no standard, or rather there are several ways, to turn these word into English the word was spelled as the user thought best and which looked best on products they manufactured.

Because tomato sauce is different then ketchup. Tomato sauce is what they use to make pasta, like spaghetti, raviolni, etc. Ketcup is thicker than sauce, and is used to give things taste. People stick their french fries in it! It's very yummy you should try it!
