語源 1

From Middle English hog, from 古期英語 hogg, hocg (“hog”), possibly from Old Norse hǫggva (“to strike, chop, cut”), from Proto-Germanic *hawwaną (“to hew, forge”), from Proto-Indo-European *kowə- (“to beat, hew, forge”). Cognate with Old High German houwan, Old Saxon hauwan, 古期英語 hēawan (English hew). "Hog" originally meant a castrated male pig, hence a sense of "the cut one". (Compare "hogget" for a castrated male sheep.) More at hew.
