Etymology[edit]
From Schnitz (“cut-off piece”). Pertaining to schneiden (“to cut”). The culinary sense spread from Austria and was therefore adopted in the regional neuter gender.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]

Usage notes[edit]
- The neuter gender is chiefly used for the dish. The masculine gender is used for scraps of material (e.g. wood, paper).

Derived terms[edit]
Related terms[edit]
Noun[edit]
Schnitzeln (strong, genitive Schnitzels, plural Schnitzel)
- cutlet (slice of filet meat)
Usage notes[edit]
- German Schnitzel is not the same as English schnitzel, which is generally taken to be a breaded cutlet. Although this form of preparation is rather common in German-speaking countries, it is by no means definitive of Schnitzel.
- Given the general meaning of the word, the idea that “Schnitzel” is a dish typical of German/Austrian cuisine is unknown to these countries (or has, at most, recently been introduced from the Anglophone world).
- In Switzerland the term Pläzli is used for cutlet and the breaded cutlet meaning is most often associated with English schnitzel.
