Is it true that the word sushi refers to raw fish rather than to vinegared rice?

No. Reference and peer-reviewed sources consistently describe sushi as a dish based on vinegared or seasoned rice, and explicitly distinguish it from sashimi, which is the raw fish dish. One encyclopedia entry states sushi is sometimes confused with sashimi, a dish of thinly sliced raw fish without sushi rice.
