Fott

Fott

See also: fött and főtt

Central Franconian

Etymology

Related with Dutch vot (“buttocks”), German Fotze (“female genitalia”), which see for more. Both of these senses are attested alongside throughout continental West Germanic. It is unknown which is original, though it is often considered more likely for a word meaning “buttocks” to be used as a euphemism for “vulva, vagina” than vice versa.

Pronunciation
