Early days,when checking results team wise with partners--I used "flat"
i suppose one could use "Equal"--"Same"
So where does Push come from?

I thought it was a blackjack term because when you tie the dealer they "push" your bet back towards you

Or maybe the term, as used in both Blackjack and bridge, originated from some earlier endeavor.

At least in US, "Flat" is an MP term while "Push" (or "Tie") is an IMP term.
I don't know where the term Push originated. Nor do I know what terms are commonly used in other English speaking countries or areas.

Maybe it is derived from CHESS ... "pushing" a pawn.

Pooltuna's guess sounds possible.
Sometimes words like this originate due to adoption of a word from another language. So there may be a language where the word for "tie" sounds like "push". That's how we got the tennis term "love": it's from the French word "l'oef", which means "egg", because a zero is egg-shaped.
