the.com/bullock
A castrated bull, proof that ambition and anatomy are negotiable.
means A young bull that has been castrated, typically raised for beef or used as a draft animal.
from From Old English 'bulluc,' a diminutive form built on 'bula' (bull) — the '-oc/-uc' suffix was a common Old English way of making a smaller or younger version of something, the same pattern you see in words like 'hillock' for a small hill. So a bullock was originally just a young bull before the word narrowed over time to mean specifically a castrated one.
