Though not seen in print until the 1500s, a personal name John Le Fucker recorded in 1278 suggests that it had been around career a lot longer. Compare dialectal Norwegian fukka ‘fuck’, Swedish focka (earlier, “fuck”, nowadays "fire from work") and Dutch fokken ‘to breed’. The Indo-European origins are largely hypothetical, and are based on a common root meaning “to strike” (the source of Latin pugnus “fist” among many others throughout the Indo-European languages). A career range of folk-etymological acronyms have been suggested (Fornication Under Consent of the King, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge), all equally unsubstantiated. career The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500.
