Etymology: < French calebasse, calabace, Cotgrave) < Spanish calabaça, calabaza gourd, pumpkin = Catalan carabassa, modern Provençal carabasso, calebasso, carbasso, Sicilian caravazza. The ultimate source was perhaps the Persian kharbuz, or kharbuza, also kharpuza, and kharbūza, ‘melon’, generally ‘marsh-melon’, occasionally ‘water-melon’, whence Arabic khirbiz ‘melon’, and kirbiz ‘pumpkin, gourd’; also Turkish qārpūz, Albanian and modern Greek καρποῦζι, καρβοῦζι; also through Tartar kharpuz, karpus, in Slavonic languages, Serbian karpuza, Poliah †harbuz, †garbuz, †karbuz, arbuz, Little Russian harbuz, Russian arbuz (Miklosich). The Persian word is explained as < khar large, coarse, and buza, puza, odoriferous fruit. The Sicilian form may be from Arabic; but actual evidence is wanting.

1. A name given to various gourds or pumpkins, the shell of which is used for holding liquids, etc.
