Word origin

The term 'cuckold' has its origins in the Old French word 'cucuault', which itself derives from 'cucu', meaning cuckoo. The connection to the cuckoo bird stems from the bird's habit of laying eggs in other birds' nests, which metaphorically symbolizes the idea of someone raising children that are not their biological offspring. In the Middle Ages, the term became a common label for men who were betrayed by their wives. The concept evolved over time, often used in literature to explore themes of jealousy, betrayal, and masculinity. In modern contexts, 'cuckold' can also find relevance within certain fetish communities, where the term encompasses consensual non-monogamy where the husband derives pleasure from seeing his partner engage with others.
