Etymology

Cognate with Catalan: carabassa

Borrowed from Arabic: قَرْعَة يَابِسَة

In summary

From Old Spanish calabaça, derived from Paleo-Hispanic [Term?] (compare Catalan carabassa). Less likely from Arabic قَرْعَة يَابِسَة (qarʕa yābisa, “dry gourd”), which is from Classical Persian خَرْبُزَه (xarbuza, “melon”).
