The

, as opposed to the wild boar . The English term for pig meat, pork, is an Anglo-Norman loan from Old French and Latin after PIE *pórḱos “piglet” from *perḱ- “to dig” +‎ *-os “-er.” This may be related to the reading associated with the right side of the character, possibly via /タン→トン and/or /タン→トン.
