Gazpacho, a cold soup made of tomatoes, vegetables, and bread crumbs, is a Spanish dish, and its name may have evolved from the Spanish caspicias, meaning leftovers or worthless things. Other authorities suggest that the word comes from the Arabic khubz mushrib, meaning soaked bread. Throughout most of the Middle Ages, Arabic contributed many such words to Spanish due to the presence of the Arabic-speaking Moors who controlled Spain until El Cid undertook its reconquest at the end of the twelfth century. Gazpacho entered English in 1845.
