Etimologia (Inglês)

Cognato com catalão: carabassa

Cognato com grego arcaico: κάραβος

Cognato com latim: scarabaeus

Cognato com espanhol: galápago

In summary

Borrowed from French carapace (“tortoise shell”), from Spanish carapacho, of unknown origin, but likely from an extinct Ibero-Mediterranean substrate language.
Compare Catalan carabassa, Ancient Greek κάραβος (kárabos, “beetle”), Latin scarabaeus (the source of scarab); also Spanish galápago (“kind of turtle”). Doublet of calipash.
