Etymology
Knackwurst comes from the German parts knack and wurst, where knack means 'snap' or 'crack' and wurst means 'sausage', as in bratwurst. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a short, firm sausage that 'snaps' when you bite it, which is why knackwurst refers to this seasoned German sausage.
