Etymology
[edit]
Inherited from Old Spanishperro(“cur”) (ca. 1200), of uncertain origin. Originally had a pejorative connotation, but soon began to supplant the Latin word can. Perhaps from a call used for dogs; compare Galicianapurrar(“set the dogs on”). Another theory derives it from Iberian; compare Asturianperru. If so, it may be related to Spanishzorro.
