"perro" meaning in Spanish

See perro in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ˈpero/, [ˈpe.ro] Forms: perra [feminine], perros [masculine, plural], perras [feminine, plural]
Rhymes: -ero Etymology: Inherited from Old Spanish perro (“cur”) (ca. 1200), of uncertain origin. Originally had a pejorative connotation, but soon began to supplant the Latin word can. Perhaps from a call used for dogs; compare Galician apurrar (“set the dogs on”). Another theory derives it from Iberian; compare Asturian perru. If so, it may be related to Spanish zorro.
