The English word calabash is loaned from Middle French calebasse, which in turn derived from Spanish calabaza meaning gourd or pumpkin. It is either loaned from Arabic قَرْعَةٌ يَابِسَةٌ‎ ( qarʕatun yābisatun, “dry gourd”) or directly from its etymon Persian خربزه‎ ( xarboze, “melon”). [9] [10] The English word is cognate with Catalan carabassa (“pumpkin; orange colour”), Galician cabaza (“gourd, pumpkin, squash; calabash (container)”), Occitan calebasso, carabasso, carbasso, Portuguese cabaça (“gourd; calabash (container)”) and Sicilian caravazza (and caramazza).

Gourd is occasionally used to describe crop plants in the family Cucurbitaceae, like pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, luffa, and melons.

The Buffalo gourd is a perineal having 5 petal yellow flower, a horrible odor when brushed against, producing round gourds along the ground from a root recorded to have reached 16” in diameter and several feet deep and used medicinally. The best strategy for planting a bottle gourd is making a small hill and planting at least 6–7 seeds per hill. When they get established, thin all but the 2–3 healthiest and strongest vines. In this way, you guarantee 2–3 healthy vines and hedge against problems and pests that can stunt growth. Be patient and don’t fiddle with the hill, as it can take anywhere from 5 days to 5 weeks before the seedlings emerge. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and gently wipe the entire gourd, inside and out. This will help remove any contaminants and bacteria.
