A calabash is either an evergreen tree that produces round gourds or one of the gourds themselves.
Nouns that travel through many languages on their way to English often stand for useful objects, and this one's no exception: it's a gourd-producing tree that is practical indeed. The tree and the gourd are both called calabashes, and people have used calabashes for musical instruments, pitchers, and many kinds of containers. The calabash must be dried before it can be used as anything. This word is originally Persian but traveled through French and Spanish on its way to English.
