The word “choux” (pronounced as ‘shoe’) means “cabbage” in French. Choux pastry’s story begins in 16th-century France with Catherine de Medici, whose chef is credited with creating the precursor to today’s pâte à choux.

The word "chou" in French can sometimes be confusing due to its multiple meanings: sometimes it means cabbage, sometimes it's used to replace the word "head," yet "un bout de chou" refers to a kid.
Choux is also used in "pâte à choux" or "choux pastry".
