Etymology
Origin uncertain.[1] Widely believed to be from Caló chachipén / chachipé (“truth”), a language spoken by the Spanish Romani.[1]
Another theory[1] (which is presumably an urban legend) is that the term is derived from the surname of British prime minister Winston Churchill due to the quality of products coming from British-governed Gibraltar.
