Etymology

[edit]

First attested in 1890. Borrowed from German Wurst (sausage, wurst), from Middle High German wurst, from Old High German wurst, from Proto-West Germanic *wursti (something turned or twisted), from Proto-Indo-European *wert-, *werd- (to turn). Akin to Old Saxon worst (wurst), Old English weorþan (to turn, become). Doublet of wors. Unrelated to worsted (type of yarn). More at worth (to be, become, betide).
