Etymology of FORNICATE

The word "fornicate" traces back to the Latin term "fornicari" which means "to engage in sexual intercourse". This Latin term was derived from the word "fornix" meaning "arch" or "vault", referring specifically to the arches found in ancient Roman brothels. The association between prostitution and sexual intercourse led to "fornicari" becoming a verb indicating the act of engaging in sexual relations. Over time, this Latin term was adopted into various Western languages, including English, with its meaning remaining unchanged.
