Where this word comes from

Apparently from Greek Ὑάδες (Huádes) by the analogy Greek ὗς (hûs, “pig, hog”): Latin sūs (“pig, hog”) :: Greek Ὑάδες (Huádes) : Latin Suculae. Thus, the Latin name in some sense is based on sucula (“little sow”), although it's unclear whether the Greek constellation name is actually ultimately from ὗς (hûs) (it is traditionally derived instead from ὕω (húō, “rain”)). However, Peck thinks the resemblance to the Greek name is coincidental and that the Latin name had a native origin.
