chochon.

Brit.

/ˈtʃəʊtʃəʊ/, U.S.

/ˈtʃoʊˌtʃoʊ/, Caribbean English

/ˈtʃoːˌtʃoː/

Forms: 1700s– chocho, 1800s chuchu.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown. Compare Caribbean French (Antilles) chouchou, Portuguese chuchu (1877 or earlier).The relationship of the European-language forms to each other is unclear, although the Portuguese form is late and appears to be secondary. It has been suggested that the word is ultimately of African origin, but no etymon has been clearly identified. A suggested derivation from Tupi xuxu or Guarani chuchu cannot be substantiated and also seems unlikely for geographical reasons (both are languages of South America). Caribbean Spanish chocho female genitals (perhaps < Akan twɔ́twɔ) has also been compared; this Spanish word does not appear to be used to denote the chayote.

Caribbean (originally Jamaican).

The chayote, Sechium edule (also chocho vine); the edible, squash-like fruit of this plant.
