No I don't. I was saying you are correct that the literal etymology of sushi means vinegar rice, but the real definition means food served over vinegary rice.
Ah... like the literal meaning is vinager rice but the meal is called sushi? Just kind of lost in translation here.
Kinda liek "breakfast" litterally means "to break your fast", but we use it in the language to mean "the 1st meal of the day".
