ORIGIN OF BERRACO

Berraco or Verraco comes from the Latin verres. This noun originally designates a pig that, due to its size and appearance, is chosen to contribute its genetics for the following generations of pigs. Although the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) does not define Berraco among its pages, it has not been an impediment for society to use it and give it even the same meaning of Verraco, without this word being wrong.

From the original meaning of boar, and because of its homophony to boar, people from different places began to use it in different ways. For example, the RAE accepts each of the meanings that occurs in Cuba. For its part, in the uses that occur in Colombia it is clear that part of the gallantry and appearance of this domestic animal.
