Etymology
نقانق is an old term in Arabic for a dish of minced meat stuffed into a casing, close to what English calls sausage. Classical dictionaries such as Lisan al-Arab already record the word, listing it among terms absorbed into Arabic rather than built from a native root. The singular نقانقة names one sausage, and نقانق works as the everyday plural. Its exact source language is not settled, so no firm foreign origin should be claimed.
