The word "mutton" originates from the Old French term "moton," which referred to a sheep, particularly one that is fully grown. This, in turn, derived from the Latin word "mānsuētīnus," meaning "tame" or "domesticated." The term has evolved over time to specifically denote the meat of older sheep, distinguishing it from lamb, which comes from younger sheep.
