Description:

The term 'kecup' comes form the English word 'ketchup', and is the Common word for any sauce or condiment, especially a sauce that the diner adds themselves. It has no special connection to the 20th and early 21st century sweet and sour tomato-based condiment that the English word referred to that used to be extremely popular throughout the English-speaking world. English-speakers outside Britain have borrowed this word back from Common and today use it to refer to any sauce as well, not just the original ketchup.

Kecup can be used as a skurun verb meaning to add a sauce or condiment to something.
