Swinebread is spelled with the phonetic transcription /swaɪn.bred/, emphasizing the long "i" sound in swine and the short "e" sound in bread. The word is not commonly used in modern English, but it refers to a coarse and cheap bread made with swine flour or leftovers. The spelling of swinebread comes from the combination of the words swine, meaning pig or hog, and bread, meaning a staple food made with flour, yeast, and water.
