It is pronounced --- WUS-ta-sha sauce ---. And in the United Kingdom at least, it is often referred to simply as --- WUS-ta sauce --- Dropping the "...sha" or "...shire" all together. It can help to understand that much of the word is simply not pronounced at all. Letters 3 though 5 (rce), the 9th letter (r), and the last 2 letters "re", are not pronounced. WO-rce-STE-r-SHI-re. For the multitude of place names in England that end with "...shire", it is very common for the "re" to not be pronounced. The sauce is named after the city of Worcester, that is found in WorcesterSHIRE, a county in the West Midlands region of England; "shire" being an older term, somewhat equivalent to a county. The locals have pronounced the name for the county, and the name for the sauce like this for generations. The sauce was first discovered in India in the 1930's. It was brought back to England, and then replicated by a pair of pharmacists who resided in the city of Worcester; hence the name. Interestingly, the name of these 2 pharmacists were John Lea and William Perrins; hence why the most common brand of Worcestershire Sauce is "Lea & Perrins". In closing, as the Brits invested English, they reserve the right to also butcher it. 😁
Worcestershire is a county in England, counties in England are kind of like a cross between your states and counties, don't have own laws but more prominent than your counties if that makes sense, most people know all the counties or at least heard of them. Sounds like wus ta sha or wus ta sher, some say more with an a and some with a er
