Etymology

From Ukrainian ковбаса́ (kovbasá /⁠kowbasˈa⁠/, “sausage”, see there for more), a very early Slavic borrowing with no clear antecedent.

The Slavic variants (including Polish kiełbasa, whence kielbasa) point to several reconstructed forms from Proto-Slavic *kъlbasa, *klobasa, *kobasa. It is considered most likely to be borrowed from Proto-Turkic *kül +‎ *bastï, literally “ash pressed”; compare Turkish külbastı (“roasted meat”), basmak (“to press”).

Pronunciation

  • (General American, Canada) IPA(key): /ˌkubəˈsɑ/, /ˈkubəsɑ/, enPR: ko͞o'bə-säʹ, ko͞oʹbə-sä
  • Rhymes: -ɑː
  • Hyphenation: ku‧ba‧sa
