One way to hold this word is to notice that almost none of its uses are about its meaning. The plain sense is sex, said in the crudest way English has. Everything else runs on what saying that out loud does to a room: it is the loudest button in the language. So the word gets pressed for anger, for shock, for cutting someone off, and for turning a normal question into a furious one. When you meet it, the useful question is usually not what does it mean here, but how much force is being applied.
From the word’s history
The source traces the word to Middle English fukken, probably Germanic, from a root meaning to strike or stab. The source itself says probably, so this is a likely line and not a settled fact.
來源記錄把這個字追到中古英文 fukken,推測是日耳曼語系來的,更早的字根有「打、刺」的意思。來源自己用的是 probably,所以這是一條可能的線索,不是定論。
Wiktionary, entry for fuck (etymology supplied in this packet): From Middle English *fukken, probably of Germanic origin ... from Proto-Indo-European *pewǵ- (to strike, punch, stab). Marked probable by the source.
