saveloy

英 ['sævəlɒɪ] 美['sævəlɔɪ]

saveloy: saveloy: [19] Saveloy ‘spicy sausage’ is etymologically a sausage made from ‘brains’. The word is an anglicization of early modern French cervelat, which in turn was borrowed from Italian cervellata, a diminutive form of cervello ‘brains’. This was a descendant of Latin cerebellum (acquired by English in the 16th century), itself a diminutive of cerebrum ‘brain’ (source of English cerebral [19]). And cerebrum is distantly related to Swedish hjarna and Danish hjerne ‘brain’, all three going back ultimately to a prehistoric Indo-European base meaning ‘head’.

saveloy (n.): 1837, corruption of French cervelas, from Italian cervellata, from cervello "brain," from Latin cerebrum (see cerebral). So called because it originally was made of pigs' brains.
