Etymology

The term 'farrow' originates from Middle English, where it was used to describe the act of giving birth, specifically in reference to pigs. The word has its roots in Old English 'fearh', meaning 'piglet,' which is linked to the Proto-Germanic '*farhล', a term for 'offspring'. Historically, the practice of pig farming has been significant in many cultures, leading to a distinct vocabulary centered on the breeding and birthing of pigs. Over time, the term 'farrow' became specialized within the agricultural community to describe the specific birthing process of sows. This specialization reflects the importance of breeding and managing livestock in farming practices, as well as the need for clear communication among those working in animal husbandry.
