Where this word comes from
Borrowed from English orc, probably from Italian orco (“man-eating giant”); later revived by J. R. R. Tolkien, partly after Old English orc (“demon”); both from Latin Orcus (“the underworld; the god Pluto”), from Ancient Greek Ὅρκος (Hórkos), the personified demon of oaths (ὅρκος (hórkos, “oath”)) who inflicts punishment upon perjurers. Doublet of ogr (“ogre”).
