Etymology

[edit]

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).
