haggis

haggis
haggis (n.) dish of chopped entrails, c.1400, now chiefly Scottish, but it was common throughout Middle English, perhaps from O.Fr. agace "magpie," on analogy of the odds and ends the bird collects. The other theory [Klein, Watkins] traces it to O.E. haggen "to chop" (see HACK (Cf. hack) (v.1)).
