One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):

HDZ: 豬 : zhū : (家畜名) 约在八千年前由野猪顺化而成, 躯体肥满, 四肢短小, 头大, 鼻子和口吻都长, 眼睛小, 耳朵大, 肉可供食用, 皮可制革, 鬃可制刷子或做其他工业原料; 小豬; 潴/瀦: 水停聚的地方; (生肖) cf. 鼠
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 猪:) The Shuōwén Seal form of 猪/豬() zhū ‘(dense-bristled) pig’ combines 犭/豕() shǐ ‘pig’, and 者() zhě/zhù/zhū (phonosemantic).
Note: SW describes 猪/豬() zhū ← MC /ʈjo/ as a dense-bristled variety of 豕() shǐ ‘pig’ with densely-packed bristles (three hairs ‘dwelling in’ each follicle), punning on 居/凥() jū ‘squat/dwell’ ← MC /kjo/ (SBGY), cf. 家(𠖔); pigs are said to have been domesticated (first captured and raised for food) some 8,000 years ago (HDZ).
Compare: 肚 dù/dǔ ‘belly/tripe’, formerly also wr. 䐗; 豬 zhū ‘pig’, formerly also wr. 䐗.
Compare: 箸() zhù ‘(bamboo) chopsticks’; 潴/瀦 zhū ‘puddle/pool/pond/lake’, also wr. 豬/都.
