Definition
A Latin American style of grilled meat, often marinated and cooked over fire, popular in countries like Argentina and Brazil.
Etymology
From Spanish 'churrasco,' possibly derived from Tupi (a South American indigenous language) or related to 'churrasquería' (BBQ restaurant). The word became common in English through cultural contact with Spanish-speaking regions, particularly during the 20th century.
Kelly Says
Churrasco represents one of the world's greatest culinary exports—it's so fundamental to Argentine and Brazilian culture that entire restaurants and traditions revolve around it, and the word has been adopted directly into English because it's hard to describe the concept without it!
