Definition
A pigpen or pig sty; an enclosure for keeping pigs, especially in Spanish-speaking regions.
Etymology
From Spanish 'chiquero,' derived from 'chico' (small) plus the suffix '-ero' (a place where something is kept). The root suggests a place for small animals or confined creatures.
Kelly Says
This Spanish term reveals how different languages carve up the world differently—English makes no special word for a pig enclosure, but Spanish does, probably because pig farming was historically more central to Iberian rural life.
