ketchup exemplifies the types of modifications that can take place in the borrowing process, both in the borrowing of a word and of the borrowing of a substance. the source of ketchup may be the malay work kechap, possibly taken into malay from the Cantonese dialect of chinese. Kechap, like our word, reffered to a kind of sauce, but a sauce without tomatoes; rather, it contained fish brine, herbs and spices. the sauce seems to have emigrated to europe by way of sailors, where it was made with locally available ingredients such as the juice of mushrooms and wallnuts. at some point, when the juice of tomatoes was first used, ketchup as we know it was BORN. however, it is important to realize that in the 18th and 19th centuries ketchup was a generic term for sauces whose only common ingredient was vinegar. ketchup is first recorded in english in 1690 in the form of catchup, in 1711 in the form of ketchup, and in 1730 in the form of catsup. these three spellings variants of a foreign borrowing remain current.
