Word origin
The word 'abattoir' originated in the mid-19th century from French, ultimately derived from Latin 'abattuere' meaning 'to beat down, slaughter'. Abattoirs have been an essential part of food production for centuries, providing communities with meat for consumption. The history of abattoirs is closely linked to the development of agriculture and the human need for protein-rich food sources.
