French[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Alsatian Alemannic German surkrut, Surkrut, Sürkrut (standard German Sauerkraut). The first part of the word was modified by folk etymology to French chou (“cabbage”). Since -croute (krut, German Kraut) is that part of the Germanic word that indeed means “cabbage”, the French form quite literally is “cabbage-cabbage”.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
choucroute f (usually uncountable, plural choucroutes)
- sauerkraut (a dish made by fermenting finely chopped cabbage)
