Unknown.

The oldest sense when first attested in the Wamyō Ruijushō of 934 is squid, apparently in reference to the Japanese flying squid commonly used after being dried.^[1] By 1334, the sense shifted to refer to the dried foodstuff.^[1]

The "dried squid" sense is now the most common, while the "type of squid" sense is often expressed using the term 鯣烏賊 (surume ika) instead.
