noun
sausage
SAW-sij/ˈsɔːsɪdʒ/
Seasoned ground meat shaped into a cylinder, often inside a casing.
The cut sausage reveals seasoned ground meat inside its thin casing.
Etymology
Saussiche already meant “sausage”; its deeper ancestry connects it with Latin words for “salted” and “to salt.” The name thus highlights the seasoning of the meat packed into the casing.
In context
Now sausage can involve drying the meat and salting the meat.
