Etymology

Literally a compound of 串 (kushi, “skewer”) +‎ 鯖 (saba, “mackerel”).

A second sense arose out of a kind of pronunciation spelling, punning off of the slang senses of 串 (kushi, “proxy”) from a clipping of プロクシー (purokushī, “proxy”), and 鯖 (saba, “server”) as a sort of rebus of サーバー (sābā, “server”).

Pronunciation
  • (Tokyo) くしさば [kùshísábá] (Heiban – [0])
  • IPA(key): [kɯ̟ᵝɕisa̠ba̠]

Noun

串(くし)鯖(さば) • (kushisaba) 

  1. (food) a mackerel skewer, usually grilled
  2. (slang, computing) a proxy server
    Synonyms: プロクシ (purokushi), プロキシ (purokishi), プロクシサーバー (purokushi sābā), 串 (kushi)
