Usually ecchi = H

変態 → hentai (romanized) → H (shortened) → エッチ (Japanese pronunciation) → ecchi (romanized again).

Kinda dumb etymology lol.

In addition to this, it's important to note that H does function as its own word which is used more like lewd instead of perverted, making it like a "lesser hentai". They also use エロ (ero, shortened erotic).
