Etymology

The second component is 焼(や)き (yaki, “grilled or cooked food”), the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 焼(や)く (yaku, “to burn, to grill”). The suki component is uncertain, though some posit 鋤(すき) (suki, “spade”) or 剥(す)き身(み) (sukimi, “thinly sliced meat”).
