sausage: [15] A sausage is etymologically a dish made by ‘salting’. The word comes via Old Northern French saussiche from late Latin salsīcia, a noun use of the neuter plural of salsīcius ‘made by salting’. This in turn was based on Latin salsus ‘salted’, a derivative of sāl ‘salt’. The earliest record of the use of sausage dog for ‘dachshund’ (an allusion to its cylindrical shape, and also perhaps to the Germans’ supposed liking for sausages) dates from the late 1930s. => salt
sausage (n.)
mid-15c., sawsyge, from Old North French saussiche (Modern French saucisse), from Vulgar Latin *salsica "sausage," from salsicus "seasoned with salt," from Latin salsus "salted" (see sauce).
