      Etymology

        From stracciato (“ripped, torn up”, past participle of stracciare) +‎ -ella, ultimately from Latin extrahō (“to extract, to remove”). The soup derives its name from the appearance of the egg; the ice-cream flavour was named after the soup, with chocolate shavings as the "stretched" element.
