Etymology of COCU
The word "cocu" is of French origin and its etymology can be traced back to the Latin word "coccus", meaning "a cock or rooster". The word "cocu" evolved from the phrase "cocus", which referred to a man who unknowingly raised another man's child, implying that he was as oblivious as a rooster in his own henhouse. Over time, "cocu" came to exclusively signify a man who is being cheated on by his partner or spouse. The term has expanded to other Romance languages, maintaining a similar meaning in Italian ("cornuto") and Spanish ("cuckold").
