But the French HAVEN'T moved on to 'cochon'! 'porc' is a near-synonym.
A search indicates that was true in 1694. 'porceau' then as now is
a young pig.

Thanks Nick.

I think I said this when I first mentioned the word.

'un porc' - a pig.

You didn't - you just mentioned 'un porc' but didn't say whether it was
the pig or the meat ... 'cos I asked you that question in the next post
