The term "squash" originates from the Native American word "askutasquash," which refers to various types of gourds. Early English settlers adopted this term, and it became associated with the edible fruits of the Cucurbita family, including pumpkins and zucchini. The name reflects the vegetable's historical significance in Indigenous diets and agriculture.
