Etymology
From Old French ogre, from Latin Orcus (“the underworld; the god Pluto”), with metathesis. According to the Trésor de la langue française informatisé, first attested in the late 12th century meaning 'fierce non-Christian', and ca. 1300 meaning 'human-eating giant' (in fairy tales). Cognate with Old Spanish huerco (“the Devil”), Spanish huerco (“depressed man in the dark”), Italian orco (“ogre, orc”).
See also French lutin (“imp, pixie”), possibly from Old French netun (“marine monster”), derived from Latin Nept?nus, and also Old French gene (“mischievous fairy”) and Romanian zân? (“fairy”), both inherited forms of Latin Di?na. A sermon by Merovingian French bishop St. Eligius (died 659) advises people against belief in Neptune, Diana, Orcus and Minerva.
