Where this word comes from

Borrowed from French carbonade, also spelled carbonnade, from Italian carbonata (“meat roasted over charcoal”), from Italian carbone (“coal, charcoal”), from Latin carbō (“coal, charcoal”). The deeper origin of the Latin word is uncertain. The original meaning was “slice of meat or cutlet roasted over charcoal”. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk karbonade (“lean beef patty; lean ground beef”), Danish karbonade (“veal or pork patty”), German Karbonade (“cutlet; meatball”) and Dutch karbonade (“meat chop, cutlet”).
