Etymology: < Japanese kabocha pumpkin, squash (early 18th cent. or earlier) < †Kabocha , the name of Cambodia (17th cent: see Cambodian n.; perhaps transmitted into Japanese via another language, compare e.g. Portuguese Camboja); the plant was so called because it was originally imported to Japan via Cambodia, probably by the Portuguese.
