Green’s Dictionary of Slang

fuck v.

[strictly, the ety. of fuck remains unknown, although the word has been linked to a supposed, if unsubstantiated, ME v. fuken. Neither Ger. ficken, nor the Fr. foutre (f. Lat. fotuere), both of which mean the same, can be linked semantically. HDAS notes MDu. fokken, to thrust, to copulate with; Norw. dial. fukka, to copulate, Swed. dial. focka, to strike, to push, to copulate + fock, the penis. Liberman (2008) notes a variety of Germanic verbs with roots in fik-, fak-, fuk-, fok- that mean ‘move back and forth’. For an authoritative overview see Sheidlower The F-Word (4 edn 2024) Given the plethora of euphemisms equating intercourse or penetration with striking or hitting (bang v.1 (2a), screw v. (2a), poke v. (1) etc), Partridge’s suggestion of a root in the Lat. pugnare, to fight or strike is appealing but currently dismissed. Considered (with cunt n. (1) and motherfucker n.) as the ultimate in taboo terms, fuck is in fact SE, but has been listed as taboo, and thus as slang, since c.1690. The first print citation is dated 1508, in a line from the poetry of William Dunbar (?1456–?1513); the first dict. listing is in Florio’s Worlde of Wordes (1598). By the 18C, if printed at all, the form was usu. f––k. The term returned to literary use with James Joyce’s much-banned Ulysses (1922) but remained taboo in the popular media and in ‘polite’ speech. This position has been eroded ever since, with the term and its compounds appearing today in films, books and on television, although the press, esp. the tabloids, pretend to a continuing squeamishness. ‘Officially’, for all that the realities of everyday speech (irrespective of class) disprove the theory, fuck remains an outlaw in conversation]

1. (also fog) to have sexual intercourse, usu. of a man, but increasingly of either sex; also of anal intercourse (see cits. c.1675 and 1698).
