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.
