Etymonline
Word Origin & History
carpaccio
raw meat or fish served as an appetizer, late 20c., from It., often connected to the name of Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio (c.14601526) but without any plausible explanation except perhaps that his pictures often feature an orange-red hue reminiscent of some raw meat.
