Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French word 'porc' (meaning pig), which came from the Latin 'porcus'. It entered the English language following the Norman Conquest of 1066, eventually establishing a distinction between the live animal (derived from Old English 'swīn') and the meat prepared for consumption.
