Etymology
In summary
Uncertain, perhaps borrowed from Middle Dutch focken (“to breed; to fuck; to tease”), from Old Dutch *fokkon, from Proto-West Germanic *fukkōn, possibly from Proto-Germanic *fukkōną (“to strike, copulate”). Compare modern Dutch fokken. German foppen developed and spread in Rotwelsch (criminal’s jargon), originally meaning “to trick, deceive” (15th century).
