Word History

Etymology

borrowed from Spanish chicharrón "crackling," of expressive origin

Note: As pointed out by Joan Coromines (Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico), comparable words with varying suffixation exist in Aragonese dialects, Gascon, Basque and, though more distant phonetically, Italian (cicciolo). Coromines suggests that the word is imitative of the sound of cracklings as they fry.
