From homecooking.about.com:

The word ketchup is derived from the Chinese ke-tsiap, a pickled fish sauce. It made its way to Malaysia where it became kechap and ketjap in Indonesia. Seventeenth century English sailors first discovered the delights of this Chinese condiment and brought it west. Ketchup was first mentioned in print around 1690. The Chinese version is actually more akin to a soy or Worcestershire sauce. It gradually went through various changes, particularly with the addition of tomatoes in the 1700s, and by the nineteenth century, ketchup was also known as tomato soy. Early tomato versions were much thinner and more like a soy or Worcestershire sauce. F. & J. Heinz Company began selling tomato ketchup in 1876. By the end of the nineteenth century, tomato ketchup was the primary type of ketchup, and the decriptor of tomato was gradually dropped. Catsup and catchup are acceptable spellings used interchangably with ketchup, but ketchup is the way you will find it listed in the majority of cookbooks.

VPNightshade -- << It's the only one worth buying. >>

Agreed. :)

murphy55d -- << Crick or Creek? >>

I don't care how you pronounce it, a creek is a small water stream, and a crick is a pain in the neck.

Catsup and Ketchup are completely different things. They are not two different words for one thing, such as soda/pop/softdrink. Anybody who calls ketchup catsup is an oblivious bobo. "Katchup" though, is different, that's just saying ketchup and mispronouncing the first part of the word.
