Compare Middle Dutch pogge, puggen, pigge, pegsken (“pigling”), Middle Low German pugge, pûke (“piglet”). The word applied to an immature animal rapidly gaining weight, so it probably derives from the verb \"to big\" (build, increase), from Middle English biggen, byggen, from Old Norse byggja, byggva (“to build”), from Proto-Germanic *būwijaną (“to build”), from PIE *bʰuH- (“to become, to grow”). Pokorny suggests this root might be somehow related to *bū-, *bew- (“to blow; swell”), which could account for the alternation between \"pig\" and \"big\".\nA connection to early modern Dutch bigge (contemporary big (“piglet”)), West Frisian bigge (“pigling”), and similar terms in Middle Low German is sometimes proposed, \"but the phonology is difficult\". Some sources say the words are \"almost certainly not\" related, others consider a relation \"probable, but not certain\".\nThe slang sense of \"police officer\" is attested since at least 1785.", "Unknown.
