thats a marrow. Courgette means small "courge", courge is French for marrow.
Similar in Italian, where 'zucca' is the marrow and 'zucchino' the small marrow. The word generally used for a courgette in Germany is "Zucchini". I think that, as with 'graffito/graffiti', the distinction between the plural and the singular has largely been lost in the loan word.
