The Origins Of The Word _F__k_
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Last week, an image from a 1528 manuscript referencing an Abbot went viralclaiming to be the first written instance of the word “fuck”. As with most historical internet fodder, though, it pays to look a little closer at the fine print. https://gizmodo.com/heres-the-first-recorded-instance-of-the-f-word-in-eng-1519247071 Inspired by the spreading of that image last week – and hopefully to educate those of you who somehow think it actually stands for “Fornication Under Consent of the King” – history and language scholar Kate Wiles has writtena piece called h25 com สล็อต “On the Origin of Fuck”. It’s a lot more in-depth, and it’s a lot more interesting. She’s nothing if not comprehensive, going as far back as the 13th century to find names like John le Fucker (1278), Fuckebegger (1286/7, pictured below) and the excellent Simon Fukkebotere (1290) the latter which was related to, um, making butter. Sadly, most of those earlier appearances are marked inconclusive, or put down to typos or bird names (who knew the common kestrel used to be called a windfucker?). Things start to get firmer by the 1300s. There’s records from Bristol, dated 1373, referring to a place called Fockynggroue. Wiles
