Etymology
From Ancient Greek ἀκανθόχοιρος (akanthókhoiros, “porcupine”), from άκανθος (ákanthos, “acanthus, a prickly plant”) + χοίρος (khoíros, “pig”). Displaced Ancient Greek ὕστριξ (hústrix, “porcupine, bristles, torture instrument”). Secondary sense of hedgehog displaced Ancient Greek ἐχῖνος (ekhînos, “hedgehog, etc.”).
