Etimología (Inglés)

In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish perro (“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 Galician apurrar (“set the dogs on”). Another theory derives it from Iberian; compare Asturian perru. If so, it may be related to Spanish zorro.
