I've asked before but I forget and it's been deleted. I think the ck stands for carnal knowledge or the uck under consent of the king or the whole thing was fornification under consent of the king or something like that but there where others and it meant a few different things and I forget what fornification means.

No, no, the acronyms for its meaning aren't true; they were developed long after the use of the word came about. Check out the Wikipedia page for more information

There are several origins listed for that particular word. One is that is derived from an old germanic verb which, when translatred into english means to strike or penetrate.

Another origin listed was that the word was originally an abbreviation for the legal listed term for prositiution arrests in colonial times, the term being that they wre arrested ..."For Unlawful Carnal Kowledge." and was shortened to the abrefiation using just the first letters of each word to save time and space in the writing of it.

Not an acronym at all. There's a
Scottish poem of the 16th century which says that James IV 'fukkid like a furious fornicatour'.

The "F" word is not an acronym, though there are certainly many clever options.

Etymology: akin to Dutch fokken to breed (cattle), Swedish dialect fókka to copulate

Fornification (sic) means the same thing.
