screw

Etymology
From, ; apparently, despite the difference in meaning, from , from through comparison with the corkscrew shape of a pig's penis. There is also the 🇨🇬, from "screw"; whence 🇨🇬, which probably influenced or conflated with the aforementioned, resulting in the Middle English word.

Old French (whence 🇨🇬), is believed to be an adaptation of ; but this development is not found in other Romance languages. (For change in meaning, compare also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, both ‘sow; screw nut’, and is based on the fact that a boar's penis has a screw-like tip, making the sow's vulva equivalent to a screw nut by analogy).

Old Dutch possibly derives from, from , from , , and is related to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Compare also 🇨🇬, Calabrese, which may be borrowings of the Old French word, or parallel developments.
