Etymology
The word 'whore' originates from the Old English 'hwore', which is related to the Proto-Germanic 'hwarล', meaning 'to have sexual intercourse'. It has been used for centuries to describe a person who engages in sexual acts for money or other forms of gain. In earlier historical contexts, the term was not exclusively gendered, but over time, it became predominantly associated with women. During the Middle Ages, the term often carried moral implications and was used to stigmatize women who deviated from societal norms regarding sexual behavior. The usage of 'whored' and its variations has evolved, often reflecting changing attitudes toward sexuality, personal agency, and economic survival. Presently, it is frequently employed in both casual and derogatory contexts, continuing to evoke strong emotional responses and highlighting societal judgments regarding sexuality and financial desperation.
