Possible etymology[edit]

Etymonline suggests it is a variant of spirt, and perhaps cognate with Middle High German spürzen and sprützen. Sprützen is a cognate of sprout, which is from the PIE root of *sper-, and all derivatives have the sense of something spreading out. (spread itself is derived from this.) Perhaps it derives directly from sprutan (antecendent of sprout) via metathesis (w:metathesis). --Wytukaze 14:27, 14 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

"(slang) Ejaculation of semen." Needs to be somehow evidenced as a distinct slang word, not the same as the more general "brief gush of liquid". Equinox 00:43, 5 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

It seems like it can also refer to the semen itself, even after it has stopped being "spurted", see #2, 3 below.

      ... he raced up and down my cock , was seemingly determined to blast the back end out of his throat with my spurt .

      I remember how his hands inflamed me , how his hot cock drove into me from behind , and his spurt left me warm and wet and open .

      Clean all your spurt off me, man.” And so I did.
