Etymology
The French “hot‑dog” is a recent loan from American English, first recorded in the 1880s for the popular street‑food consisting of a cooked sausage in a sliced bun.
Its English form traces back to the 19th‑century slang “hot dachshund,” a playful reference to the sausage’s resemblance to a dachshund dog; “hot” comes from Old English *hōt* (ultimately from Latin *calidus* “warm”), while “dog” is from Old English *docga* (cognate with Latin *canis* “dog”).
The term entered French cuisine vocabulary in the early 20th century and has since been assimilated as a standard noun.
