UK/ˌkɑːbəˈneɪdəʊ/ US/-ˈnɑː-/ uncommon dated obsolete

noun

1.
2.

a piece of meat (or fish) that has been scored and broiled

Origin

The noun is derived from Spanish carbonada (“carbonized”) (from carbonar (“to carbonize”)) + -ado (suffix forming past participles of regular verbs ending in -ar). Carbonada appears to have been modelled after Italian carbonata (“coal pile; stew of beef in red wine”), from carbone (“coal; charcoal”) (from Latin carbō (“coal; charcoal”), from Proto-Indo-European *ker- (“to burn”)) + -ata. The verb is derived from the noun.
