Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Goat meat" in English language version.
The term 'chevon,' as a name for goat meat was created by 'dismembering' chevre (French for goat) and mouton (French for sheep) and 'using certain of the letters.' It was devised by commercial agencies and appears in a recent publication of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Farmers' Bulletin 1203:19, revised 1926).
