Etymology
The term 'hotdog' has an intriguing history that traces back to the late 19th century in the United States. The word likely derives from the German word 'dachshund' which refers to a breed of dog known for its long body and short legs, resembling the shape of the sausage. There are several anecdotes regarding the origin of the term 'hotdog', one of which is attributed to German immigrants who sold sausages in buns at baseball games, reminiscent of the dachshund dogs they kept. The popularization of the term is credited to an American cartoonist named Tad Dorgan, who, in a cartoon he created in 1901, depicted a vendor selling 'dachshund sausages' but didn't know how to spell it, leading him to use the term 'hotdog'. It became widely accepted and adopted over the decades, cementing the hotdog as a quintessential element of American cuisine.
