覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
日本語の「ソーセージ」とほぼ同じですが、英語では可算名詞として a sausage、two sausages と数えられます。語源の核はラテン語で「塩漬けの」を表す語で、保存のため塩を使った肉を思い浮かべましょう。breakfast sausage、sausage roll、sausage meat など食事や料理名との組み合わせも一緒に覚えると実用的です。
The Japanese loanword ソーセージ gives you the basic meaning, but remember how the English noun behaves: one item is “a sausage,” and several are “sausages.” Link the word with salt, since its history is connected with salted meat prepared for preservation. A clear mental picture is a long piece of seasoned meat served at breakfast or placed on a plate. Learn common combinations such as “breakfast sausage,” “sausage roll,” and “sausage meat” so that the word is attached to realistic food situations.

sausage の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 salsus（塩漬けの）が語源で、古フランス語 saussiche を経て英語に入った。語根 sal-（塩）は salt や salad と同根。保存のために肉を塩漬けにした加工法がそのまま名前になった。
English sausage came through Old North French forms related to saussiche, ultimately from Latin salsus, meaning “salted.” The name reflects the old practice of preserving prepared meat with salt. The Latin element is historically connected with words associated with salt, including salt itself and salad, whose history also involves salted food. The modern word now covers many fresh, cooked, smoked, or dried varieties, whether or not preservation is their main purpose.
