Etymology

From Middle High German fotze (focze), see also fud. Akin to Bavarian Fotzen (“cunt (swearword towards a women); a slap in the face, on the mouth and the mouth itself”), Dutch vot (“arse”), Kölsch Fott (“buttocks”) and Scots fud (“cunt”). It is unclear whether the sense "arse" or the sense "vulva" is older. Sources give contradictory comments on this matter.
