Etymology of SCULDUDDERY

The word "sculduddery" has a rather interesting etymology. It comes from the combination of two separate terms: "scold" and "uddery".

The word "scold" derives from Old English "scolde" or "scealdan", meaning to quarrel, reprimand, or chastise someone verbally. Over time, "scold" came to refer specifically to a person, typically a woman, who frequently argues or complains.

The second part, "uddery", is a much lesser-known term. It is a derivative of the word "udder", which refers to the mammary gland found on cows and other mammals. In this context, "uddery" is an archaic form that alludes to the female genitalia.

When combined, "sculduddery" takes on a rather explicit meaning.
