Etymology
[edit]Shish kebabis an English rendering ofTurkish:şiş(sword or skewer) andkebap(roasted meat dish), that dates from around the beginning of the 20th century.[6][7]According to theOxford English Dictionary,its earliest known publication in English is in the 1914 novelOur Mr. WrennbySinclair Lewis.[6][8]
The wordkebabalone was already present in English by the late 17th century, from theArabic:كَبَاب(kabāb), partly through Urdu, Persian and Turkish.[9]EtymologistSevan Nişanyanstates that the word has the equivalent meaning of "frying/burning" with "kabābu" in the oldAkkadian language,and "kbabā/כבבא" inAramaic.[10]The oldest known example ofşiş,probably originally meaning a pointed stick, comes from the 11th-centuryDīwān Lughāt al-Turk,attributed toMahmud of Kashgar.[11][12]
