Etymology 1
[edit]| trad. | 豚 | |
|---|---|---|
| simp. # | 豚 | |
| alternative forms | 豘 肫 | |
Probably related to 彖 (OC *l̥ʰoːns, “running pig”) and 貒 (OC *tʰoːn, “hog badger”) (Schuessler, 2007).
Outside of Chinese, it is probably related to Proto-Mien *duŋᴮ (“pig”) (Sagart, 1999; Schuessler, 2007; Ratliff, 2010).
Vovin speculates a link to Common Turkic *toŋuz (“pig”) and Middle Korean 돝 (twòth, “pig”) (Vovin, 2011).

Etymology
[edit]| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 豚 |
| ぶた Grade: S |
| kun'yomi |
| Alternative spelling |
|---|
| 豕 |
First attested in the mid-Muromachi period, some time in the late 1480s.[1]
Derivation ultimately unknown.
Some sources list possible theories:[2][3][4]
- A shift from 太 (futo, “fatty (fat individual), fatness”)
- The vowel shift and voicing required to go from futo to buta seem problematic, considering Japanese sound shift patterns.
- Cognate with Okinawan ぶたさん (butasan, “fat”).
- An onomatopoeia from the sound the animal makes, realized in Japanese as ブー (bū)
- The final -ta remains unexplained.
- Some combination of the two above
- A shift from 猪太 (ibuto, literally “swine + fatty”)
- Attestable online, but not found in Japanese etymological resources. Difficult to judge provenance or timing.
- A borrowing from Korean or Mongolian
The word butakal appears in several languages of the Philippines with a sense of boar (male pig), suggesting a possible source. However, any connection with an Austronesian language is only speculation.
The kanji is from Chinese 豚 (tún, “suckling pig”). Compare Japanese 猪 (inoshishi, “boar”) from Chinese 猪 (zhū, “pig”) and Japanese 猿 (saru, “monkey”) from Chinese 猿 (yuán, “ape”).
