Word origin

The term "slaughterer" originates from the Middle English word "sloughtren," which means 'to kill' or 'to put to death.' This term is derived from the Old English 'sloh' meaning 'slay' and 'er,' a suffix used in agent nouns. Historically, the role of a slaughterer has evolved alongside human societies, as the domestication of animals for food became commonplace. The practice of slaughtering animals for food dates back thousands of years, and as agricultural societies developed, the profession became formalized. The rise of the industrial meatpacking industry in the 19th century drastically changed the practices and regulations surrounding slaughterers, with an increasing focus on efficiency and humane treatment.
