CUCKOLD Meaning and Definition

  1. A cuckold, in the realm of relationships and sexuality, refers to a man who unknowingly or willingly endures the infidelity or unfaithfulness of his spouse or partner. The term often denotes a specific kink or fetish related to the hotwifing or cuckoldry lifestyle, where the man takes pleasure from watching or being aware of his partner engaging in sexual activities with another person or multiple individuals.

    Historically, the concept of a cuckold developed during the Middle Ages within the context of male honor and sexual exclusivity. It typically carried a derogatory connotation, implying a submissive or emasculated husband. However, in contemporary times, the term has broadened its scope and encompasses various aspects of consensual non-monogamy or alternative relationships.

    The term 'cuckold' has also found usage metaphorically outside of sexual contexts. In this sense, it denotes a person who is easily deceived, manipulated, or made a fool of by others. It implies a lack of awareness or assertiveness, often carrying a negative or derogatory undertone.

    It's important to note that the term can be considered offensive or derogatory by some, particularly when used outside of its sexual context, due to its historical implications and associations with humiliation or emasculation. Thus, sensitivity and respect for individual preferences and perspectives are essential when discussing or employing this word.

  2. • See under cuckoo.
    • A husband whose wife is false to his bed.

Etymology of CUCKOLD

The word "cuckold" originates from the Middle English term "cokewold". Its components are derived from "cok" (referring to a male bird) and "wold" (meaning ruler or sovereign). Therefore, "cokewold" initially referred to the leader of a "cok" or a dominant male bird. Over time, the term evolved towards its modern meaning, which describes a man whose wife is unfaithful or has an extramarital affair. The association between the bird and the concept of marital infidelity likely arises from observations of birds engaging in extra-pair mating behavior.
