Etymology

The word 'slut' dates back to the 15th century, originally used to refer to a 'slovenly woman' or a 'dirty woman'. Over the years, it evolved to denote sexual promiscuity, particularly in women, and became associated with a moral judgment. The suffix '-y' was added to form 'slutty' in the 20th century, which further emphasized the derogatory nature of the term. Its usage highlights societal attitudes towards female sexuality, where women are often shamed for expressing their sexual desires in ways that depart from traditional norms. The term remains contentious and is a focus of discussions about gender, sexuality, and empowerment.
