Where this word comes from

From Old French pute (nominative singular of putain) – perhaps from:. * a Vulgar Latin *pūtta, from a supposed Latin *puta (“girl”), female form of putus (“boy”) (a hapax legomenon of dubious reading) * from the feminine form of put (“stinking, fetid”), from Latin pūtidus (“stinking”), therefore effectively inherited from Latin pūtida; this is the preferred etymology of the Trésor de la langue française informatisé Cognate with puta in the Gallo-Romance and Ibero-Romance areas (including Catalan puta, Spanish puta, Portuguese puta, Galician puta, Asturian puta), as well as Old Italian putta (“girl”).
