Etymology

Cognate with Latin: turgēre

Cognate with Galician: touciño

Cognate with Portuguese: toucinho

In summary

Borrowed from Medieval Latin tuccinum (lardum) (“bacon lard”), from Latin tuccētum (“pork conserved in brine”), from tucca (“liquid lard”), a word said to be of Celtic origin, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂-, related to Latin turgēre. The ending was influenced by the end of cecina (“sausage”). Compare Galician touciño and Portuguese toucinho.
