We use the word “sausage” quite often, but we don’t even think about its origin.
And few people know that there are as many as three versions of the origin of this word, reports the Zen channel “Protect Speech”.
Where did the word "sausage" come from?
Scientists do not have a consensus on the origin of the word “sausage”.
According to one version, the word “kolbasa” is originally Russian and has the same root as the word “kolobok”.
However, most experts in the field of philology consider this version to be questionable.
According to the second version, the word “sausage” comes from the ancient Hebrew kolbasar, meaning “living creature, meat”.
The third version, considered the most plausible, states that the word “sausage” comes from the Turkish word kulbasty – “fried meat”.
