Where did the word sausage come from?

Answer 1

The word "sausage" originates from the Latin word "salsus," meaning "salted," which referred to the preservation method of curing meat with salt. This evolved into the Old French word "saussiche" and later into the Middle English word "sausage." The term has been used for centuries to describe a cylindrical meat product made by stuffing ground meat into a casing.

Answer 2

The word sausage comes from an Old French word, saussiche. This word came from the vulgar Latin word salsica, which came from salsicus, which means "seasoned with salt."

Answer 3

The sausage got its name from Falun, the city from where it originates, after being introduced by German immigrants who came to work in the region's mines.
