Cervelats

/ˌsɛrvəˈlɑːts/ noun

Definition

The plural of cervelat, referring to multiple Swiss smoked sausages.

Etymology

From cervelat (variant of cervelas) plus English plural -s, showing how English speakers adapted the German/Swiss spelling by simply adding a standard English plural ending.

Kelly Says

Different languages handle the same sausage differently: the French say 'cervelas,' Germans say 'Cervelat,' but English just added an 's'—lazy but practical, which is honestly how English rolls with most food words.
