Etymology[edit]
From Hokkien, possibly from:
- 奶脯 (leng-pó͘, /liɪŋ⁴⁴⁻²² pɔ²³/, literally “dried breast meat, usually, of an animal”),[1][2] which Manuel (1948) defined as 奶 (leng, “milk; udder; breast”) + 脯 (pô͘, “udder of any animal”).[3] Lim (1941) records the same word romanized as “lin po” with the characters, 乳部 (literally “breast region”).[4] Compare Hokkien 奶 (lin, “breast”), 脯 (pó͘, “dried meat”), 肉脯 (bah-pó͘, “dried (and processed) meat”), 撚部尾 (lián-pō͘-bé, “lower abdomen”).[5]
- 鐮刀／镰刀 (liâm-to, “sickle”) + 肉 (bah, “meat”), which Chan-Yap (1980) defined the former as “stomach portion of pig”,[6] likely referring to the streaky appearance of pork belly. Compare Mandarin 鐮刀／镰刀 (liándāo), Hokkien 腳廉刀／脚廉刀 (kha-liâm-to, “tibia; shinbone”).
Zorc (1985) records both etymologies but finds Manuel (1948)'s as less likely.[7]
