Catalan edit
Etymology edit
Inherited from Old Catalan truja, from Late Latin troia, of uncertain origin, but possibly from Latin (porcum de) Troia (“(hog of) Troy”), after the Trojan horse, or alternatively from a Gaulish root *trogja, or possibly simply of imitative origin, from the sound of a pig's grunt. Compare Occitan truèja, French truie.
