It's a Germanic word, not latin. That isn't the origin of the word.... The latin/italian translation of the word is fottere

I always thought it was "For Unlawful (or Unclean) Carnal Knowledge"
First printed in a Scottish poem in 1503, the ancient and awesomely powerful F-bomb continues to mystify lexicographers. Rumors persist that legal acronyms spawned the obscenity in question ("Fornication Under Consent of the King" or the Irish police-blotter inscription "booked For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"), though the modern-day phrase has been traced to a number of etymological origins: Middle Dutch (fokken), Germanic (ficken), English (firk), Scottish (fukkit). Even the Latin terms futuerre ("to copulate") and pungo ("to prick") bear a striking resemblance to the four-letter word. Of course, its original definition linking sex with violence and pleasure with pain has broadened considerably in the past 500 years.
Correct.

Note that the latin term is futuerre and pungo and not as claimed in the op fuco.
Sounds to me like crazyme is doing his own dissembling. He gives no origin for his definition, no reason as to why that particular word was chosen by him. I wonder what his motive is to discredit the word ****?
Because using the English word for it doesn't render an opportunity to do it? That's my experience.
I would like someone to tell me what really is so bad about the word. I understand that it is held up as a swear word. That for some obscure reason people are supposed to be offended by it. And that those who simply do what society expects without thinking for themselves will play the game of acting offended. But, what actually is the offense.
It is just a word. A way of emphasising something. What is so bad about that.
Those who use it present themselves as vulgar. However, that can sometimes be useful. My sister's ex-husband used to go up to random chicks on the beach back in the 1970s and asked "wanna **** "? Most weekends he found someone to take him up on the offer. He got his faced slapped a few times, but considered it worth it.
No, that is nothing more than the blind acceptance of social status. The question is not about what society has created but why follow what society has created. The word itself is not vulgar but as your story tells us it is what a person does that is vulgar. He could have asked that same question using many different words. But it would not have mattered because the women who slap his face have objected to being seen as nothing more than a sex object and not the word **** itself.
Either you out with demure women/men (let' not make assumptions here) or you have never roused a partner to the point where they scream out " Oh god! **** me, **** me. "

What about the ones that took him up on his offer?

It's an okay word if you think Tony Montana is a good role model.
Right! Because only evil drug lords use that word.
Or is it that a person is likely to turn into an evil drug lord if they use that word.
If i hear an eight year old using that word should i ask him if i can score some coke from him?
Well, it depends on what eight-year-old you ask.
Yet, reports indicate that Gauteng’s youngest drug dealer is an eight-year-old boy from Douglasdale.

The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low, that every person of sense and character detests and despises it. — George Washington
