A horse that moves at a trotting gait (a medium-speed running), or a foot or leg (especially a pig's or sheep's leg eaten as food).
From 'trot,' which comes from Old French 'troter,' possibly imitating the sound or rhythm of the gait. The food meaning refers to the animal's trotters as cuts of meat.
Trotters are a delicacy in many cuisines around the world—in Korea, China, and European countries they're considered flavorful and nutritious, showing how what one culture discards, another treasures as comfort food.
