Definitions and meaning of sushi

sushi

Etymology

Borrowed from Japanese 寿司(すし) (sushi, “sushi (sour rice)”), ultimately from archaic conjugation 酸(す)し (sushi, “sour, vinegared”) of modern adjective 酸(す)い (sui, “sour, vinegared”).

Pronunciation

  • (UK) enPR: so͞osh'i, IPA(key): /ˈsuːʃi/
  • (General American, Canada) IPA(key): /ˈsuʃi/
  • Rhymes: -ʊʃi, -uːʃi
  • Homophone: souchy

Noun

sushi (usually uncountable, plural sushis)

  1. A Japanese dish made of small portions of sticky white rice flavored with vinegar, usually wrapped in seaweed and filled or topped with fish, vegetables or meat.
  2. (proscribed) Raw fish, especially as a Japanese dish.

Usage notes

  • Some non-Japanese people assume the defining component of sushi is raw fish, and occasionally use "sushi" to mean "raw fish". Raw slices of fish (or other meats) served without rice are properly termed sashimi.
  • The collective plural of sushi is generally sushi. When referring to two or more types of sushi or to multiple instances of sushi the plural is sushis.
