Etimologia
From Middle Dutch wijf, from Old Dutch w墨f, from Proto-West Germanic *w墨b, from Proto-Germanic *w墨b膮. While initially a neutral term for "woman", the word came to be associated first with lower-class women from the seventeenth century onwards, and over the following centuries developed into a largely derogatory term for woman who is disliked or at least somewhat disrespected by the speaker. Nonetheless, in some dialects the word remained neutral even into the twentieth century.
