In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish porcilga, related to puerco (“pig”), possibly through a Vulgar Latin *porcicula (with metathesis and later contraction), itself possibly from a crossing of Late Latin porcīle, from Latin porcus, and cortīcula, from a diminutive of Latin cōrtem (“farmyard or enclosure”), or from a root *porcīlica, from porcīle. Compare Portuguese pocilga, Catalan porcigola, Occitan pourcinglo.
