The word itself is possibly a combination of sylvestris and nympha (forest and nymph), but they’re air spirits from Paracelsus’ 16th century works. Sylphs go along with undines, gnomes, and salamanders (water, earth, and fire spirits).
Some different kinds of nymphs are dryads (oak trees), oceanids (oceans), oreads (mountains), and plenty of others.
Note: no disrespect meant to the noble Sus genus, nor Sus Domesticus specifically. It is unfortunate that pig is used as a negative descriptor when pigs are actually quite clean and respectful creatures, unlike most men.

Turning men into pigs?
Or just making their outside match their inside?

Pigs eat their own children without any problem
And? So do many species. Doesn’t change anything.
