Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Latin tucca Latin tuccētum Medieval Latin tuccīnum (lardum)bor. Spanish tocino Borrowed from Medieval Latin tuccinum (lardum) (“bacon lard”), from Latin tuccētum (“pork conserved in brine”), from tucca (“liquid lard”), a word said to be of Celtic origin, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂-, related to Latin turgēre. The ending was influenced by the end of cecina (“sausage”). Compare Galician touciño and Portuguese toucinho.
