+ ==Pronunciation==

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''futuō''' (present infinitive futuere, perfect active futuī, supine futūtum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The origin is uncertain.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) De Vaan suggests a derivation from the root ⟨-fūt-⟩ “strike, hit”; the formation in ⟨-uere⟩ points to an earlier noun or adjective [[m|la|*futu-]], perhaps meaning “a strike, a get-together”.^(de Vaan 2008) Romain Garnier instead derives that noun, “capacity to ejaculate”, from [[ine-pro|*ǵʰu-tu-]], from [[m|ine-pro|*ǵʰew-|t=to pour]], as Forssman had already suggested in 1972.^(de Vaan 2008) Wiktionary mentions [[m|ine-pro|*bʰew-|t=to hit]], the root of [[m|la|fūstis|t=club]].^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Catullus,^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL) who writes of a man that ''hic futuit multas'', “he has had many women”.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is a vulgar word,^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) found in Horace's satires,^(TLL)^(Georges 1913) in an epigram of Augustus that Martial quotes,^(TLL) in the ''Priapea'' and very often in Martial.^(TLL) The grammarians paired it with [[nūbō]], saying that one is used of men and the other of women.^(TLL) Pompeian wall inscriptions show vulgar forms such as ''futues'' and ''futuet'' (second conjugation), ''futue'' for ''futuī'' and the syncopated ''fuit'' for ''futuit''.^(Georges 1913)^(TLL)

+

+ It survives in [[m|it|fottere]], [[m|fr|foutre]] and [[m|es|hoder]].^(TLL)
