percheron

/pɚtʃˈɜɹən/ noun C1

a breed of large, powerful draft horse

Word Origin From Latin 'pertica' meaning pole or rod, with the French suffix '-eron' indicating origin. A Percheron is a breed of draft horse from the Perche region of France, but the name ultimately goes back to 'pertica', perhaps referring to a pole or perch used in training? Actually, the region name Perche may come from Latin 'pertica' (pole) because of the forest of tall trees. So the horse is named after its place of origin, which is named after poles. Related: perch (a rod for birds), percher (one who perches).
