Etymology 1
From Middle English hog, from Old English hogg, hocg (“hog”), possibly from Old Norse h?ggva (“to strike, chop, cut”), from Proto-Germanic *hawwan? (“to hew, forge”), from Proto-Indo-European *kewh?- (“to beat, hew, forge”). Cognate with Old High German houwan, Old Saxon hauwan, Old English h?awan (English hew). Hog originally meant a castrated male pig, hence a sense of “the cut one”. (Compare hogget for a castrated male sheep.) More at hew. Alternatively from a Brythonic language, from Proto-Celtic *sukkos, from Proto-Indo-European *suH- and thus cognate with Welsh hwch (“sow”) and Cornish hogh (“pig”).
