Etymology: "Liverwursts" is simply the plural of "liverwurst," the spreadable sausage whose name is a partial calque of German "Leberwurst," built from the English words "liver" and "wurst" (German for "sausage"). The English term is therefore a translation of its German model rather than a borrowing of the German word itself, with the German parts reproduced in English.

Synonyms: liver sausage, liver paste
