Etymology of BUTCHERINGS
The word "butcherings" is derived from the noun "butcher", which originated from the Old French word "bouchier" around the 12th century. "Bouchier" itself came from the Latin word "buccellarius", meaning "cowherd" or "butcher". Over time, the word "butcher" came to refer specifically to someone who professionally slaughters and sells meat. The suffix "-ings" added to the word "butcher" creates the noun "butcherings", referring to the act or process of cutting up or slaughtering animals for meat.
