kyrpä
Finnish
Etymology
- First appearance in a dictionary is from 1848: Johan Fredrik Wallin, Suomen- Wenäjän- ja Ruotsin-kielinen Sana-kirja (Finnish-Russian-Swedish Dictionary), p. 360, printed in Hämeenlinna by S. Nordenswan.
- According to Suomen sanojen alkuperä (The Origin of the Finnish Words), 1992, published by Kotus, the word is first attested in the writings of Christfrid Ganander in 1786.
- Cognates in other Finnic languages include Estonian and Ludic kürb, Karelian kyrpä and Ingrian and Votic kürpä.
- Sometimes said to refer originally to a lone, tall pine tree, or alternately a strong branch on a pine top, such as formed when the top was damaged but remained attached, and a side branch started growing upward at the spot. In light of the notes above, this appears to be an urban legend. It is more likely that the pine-related usage is a later development than the sexually related one.
