cunt. Cunt, for the female sexual organ or vagina, dates back (as cunte) to Middle English, deriving from a Teutonic word corresponding to the Latin cunnus, which is related to the Latin cuneus, “a wedge.” While the O.E.D. records cock and prick, it doesn’t include cunt. Partridge calling this “an injustice to women.” The word has been avoided in public speech since the 15th century and considered obscene since about the 17th cen- tury, though it has recently been included in dictionaries and is commonly printed in other works. |
