I learned the former is directly related to "quash" and the latter is from the Narragansett word "askutasquash." Rhode Island settlers shortened the word to the last syllable. There's a blog or book waiting to be written about different etymologies of homonyms, Charlie, but it ain't gonna be written be either of us. ;-)Vickie Rabournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147603360671127734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-78632462515714290102015-03-21T20:57:42.159-07:002015-03-21T20:57:42.159-07:00Hi Anne,
