Beef is actually an adaptation for an old word for cow. Similarly, pork is also derived from a word for pig. Bovine is a word that means of cows, and porcine is a word that means of pigs. From there, you can probably see where we got pork. Beef is a little more convoluted, but it came from an old English word, boeuf which has its roots in French.
