Worcestershire
Savory brown condiment
Worcestershire is a county in western England, but the word appears most often in *Worcestershire sauce*—a fermented condiment of vinegar, molasses, anchovies, and spices.
The sauce name is frequently shortened: Pass the Worcestershire.
The pronunciation (WOOS-ter-shur or WOOS-ter-sher) notoriously trips up Americans encountering the word in print.
