Origin of gazpacho

  • Spanish originally, a soup made from pulverized stale or toasted bread from a Mozarabic source perhaps akin to Spanish caspicias remainders and caspa dandruff (of pre-Roman Iberian origin) or from Late Latin gāzophylacium treasury, alms box (the soup being so called because of the miscellaneous worn-out items found in alms boxes) from Greek gāzophulakion treasury gāza treasure (of Iranian origin) (Persian ganj treasure) phulax, phulak- guard

    From American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

  • From Spanish gazpacho, perhaps via Mozarabic *gazpelağo from Latin gazophylacium (“treasure-chest in a church”), alluding to the diversity of its contents. Alternatively, related to Spanish caspicias (“remnants”).
