Where did the F word originate and was it originally used as another word for sex?

Answer 1

F**k is an English word which, when used literally as a verb, means "to engage in sexual intercourse". It is generally considered to be an offensive profanity. Its origins may be Germanic, akin to the synonymous German "ficken", which had the original meaning, "to strike".

It is unclear whether the word has always been considered vulgar, and if not, when it first started to be considered vulgar. Some evidence indicates that in some English-speaking locales it was considered acceptable as late as the 17th century meaning "to strike" or "to penetrate". Other evidence indicates that it may have become vulgar as early as the 16th century in England, although neither set of evidence is inherently contradictory to the other, since many words have multiple connotations. The etymology (origin) of the word is uncertain.

There are several urban-legend false etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. One legend holds that the word f**k came from Irish law. If a couple were caught committing adultery they would be punished "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge In the Nude", with "F U C K I N'" written on the stocks above them to denote the crime.

Answer 3

I read somewhere that in old England sex was only allowed to procreate and there had to be a permit granted by the King and the couples who got the permission had to put a sign on the door of their home so the law officers or the neighbors knew to stay away and the sign read F.U.C.K which meant Fornication Under Consent of the King.
