Portuguese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Latin porca (“balk”), from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥ḱeh₂, from Proto-Indo-European *perḱ- (“to dig”).
Even though the word starts with "al", it is not a prefix, but rather an adaptation of Portuguese alporque (“swelling, scrofula”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
alporquia f (plural alporquias)
- layering (developing a new plant from the branch of a tree)
