## Origin

From Middle English *fukken (not directly recorded), probably Germanic, either from Old English *fuccian or Old Norse *fukka, both traced to Proto-Germanic *fukkōną and perhaps Proto-Indo-European *pewǵ- ('to strike, punch, stab'). Court records from Chester in 1310–11 name a Roger Fuckebythenavele, possibly the earliest sexual use; from about 1500 the word has been in continuous use, displacing older terms like swive. Stories that it began as an acronym, such as 'for unlawful carnal knowledge' or 'fornication under consent of the king', are later inventions. The throwing sense comes from the related word feck.
