Where this word comes from

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. Alternatively, perhaps related to Middle Low German vicken, ficken (“to beat, chastise, punish by beating”), whence German Low German ficken; compare also Middle Dutch bevicken (“to hit, strike”).
