Etymology[edit]
Borrowing from Spanish cebiche, of uncertain origin. Suggestions include:
- Latin cibus (“food”)
- from Andalusian Arabic [Term?], from Arabic سِكْبَاج m (sikbāj), سِكْبَاجَة f (sikbāja, “the dish ‘sikbaj’, meat cooked in vinegar”), from Middle Persian *sḵbʾk' (*sikbāg) (whence Persian سکبا (sekbâ)) (in which case ceviche is related to escabeche)
- Quechua siwichi (“undercooked; ceviche”)
Pronunciation[edit]
