Etymology

From Middle High German ficken (to rub, solidify, strengthen), perhaps from Old High German *fuchōn, *fuhhōn (attested in fitafuchōn, fitafuhhōn (to yearn for, seek or solicit fornication), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pewǵ- (to stick, sting, stab). The interjectional use is probably a semantic loan from English fuck.
