Meaning & usage
a mixture of finely minced pork and added fat, used especially to make patties and sausages
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Danish medister, from Middle Low German metworst (“sausage made from minced pork”), remodelled under the influence of ister (“suet, visceral fat”). The Middle Low German compound consists of met (“pork”) and worst (“sausage”). The first element ultimately derives from Proto-Germanic *matją (“food”), from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂d- (“to drip, ooze; grease, fat”). The second element is from Proto-West Germanic *wursti (“sausage”), of uncertain further origin. Compare German Mett and Dutch met (“minced pork”). The first element is also related to Norwegian Bokmål mat (“food”), Norwegian Nynorsk mat, Swedish mat, Danish mad, Icelandic matur, Faroese matur and English meat.
