Etymology
The word derives from the Catalan root 'llonga' meaning long, referring to the sausage's characteristic elongated shape, with influences from similar Latin sausage terminology used across the Iberian Peninsula.
Memory Aid
Link the double L start to 'long' — a long, spiced Catalan sausage, so 'long-anissa' = long sausage.
