English

Several varieties of kielbasa with mustard.

Borrowed from Polish kiełbasa (“sausage”), from Proto-Slavic *kъlbasa, which may derive from Proto-Turkic for "grilled cutlet," literally "pressed on ashes," from *kül (“ash”) + *bas (“to press”) (modern Turkish basmak).[1] See the Ukrainian cognate ковбаса́ (kovbasá, “sausage”), whence kubasa, for more information.
