Etymology
Μπέικον is a direct loan from English "bacon". English took the word from Old French "bacon", which came from a Frankish word meaning cured meat from the back of a pig. Greek borrowed it whole in the 20th century, along with the food itself, and gave it no native ending, so it stays fixed in form.
