The rooster (gallus) is named from castration, for of all the birds only this one has its testes removed. Indeed, the ancients used to call a castrated man a gallus. And just as the word leaena (“lioness”) is formed from leo (“lion”), and dracaena (“dragoness”) from draco (“dragon”), so gallina (“hen”) is formed from gallus. The rooster’s limbs, some people say, are consumed if they are mixed with molten gold.
