Perro
dog (the species Canis familiaris (sometimes designated Canis lupus familiaris), domesticated for thousands of years and of highly variable appearance because of human breeding)
Origin
(ca. 1200), of origin. Originally had a pejorative connotation, but soon began to supplant the Latin word can. Perhaps from a call used for dogs; compare. Another theory derives it from xib -; compare perru. If so, it may be related to zorro.
