語源

Uncertain. Possibly derived from Old Norse hǫggva (“to strike, chop, cut”), from Proto-Germanic *hawwaną (“to hew, forge”).

Alternatively, perhaps from Celtic, compare Welsh hwch (“sow”), Cornish hoch (“pig”) (whence probably modern English hoggan (“pork pasty”))^[1]; however, the possibility of British Celtic origin [Watkins, etc.] is regarded by OED as "improbable." ^[2].
