Etymology
The word 'hog' originated from the Old English word 'hogg', which referred to a young sheep before its first shearing. Over time, the meaning evolved to describe a domesticated pig, particularly one raised for food. Hogs have been an important source of meat for various cultures throughout history, with different breeds developed for specific traits such as size, meat quality, and adaptability to different climates.
