The medieval French word pucelle referred to a young adolescent girl or a virgin, although this comes from a slang term for virginity puce (= flea) rather than referring to cats (but cf. French chatte (female cat), a current vulgarism for the female pudenda). In the 17th century, the term was also used to refer to women in general. Philip Stubbs, an English pampleteer, wrote in his 1583 book "The Anatomie of Abuses" that "the word pussie is now used of a woman".

It was William the Conqueror.

At the Battle of Hastings (1066), William of Normandy defeated Harold, thereby conquering England. Harold's forces still spoke German, while William spoke French. The entire English language is as a result of this battle.

So, after the battle, William looked around at his men and said "Tres bien, mes amis! Let's go have a Guinness and find some English p****y!"

It comes from about 1880, Low German "Puse" which means a kind of a bag. I believe the word Purse came from the same root word.

So in other words, it started out as a "womans purse", her "little place to put stuff in".

Don't know who was first but it's called that because it's furry and nice to stroke.
