An even earlier root may be the Egyptian petcha (to copulate), which has a highly suggestive hieroglyph. Or perhaps Latin "futuere" came from the root "fu", Common Indo-European "bhu", meaning peter cook & dudley moore "be, become" and originally referred to procreation.Fake etymologies There are several urban-legend fake etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. In the most popular peter cook & dudley moore version, it is said that the word "fuck" came from Irish law. If a couple committing adultery were "Found Under Carnal Knowledge" they would be penalized, with "FUCK" written on the stocks above them to denote the crime.
