Etymology of WHOREMONGERS

The word "whoremongers" is derived from the combination of two words: "whore" and "monger".

- "Whore" originated from the Old English word "hōre" which referred to a prostitute or promiscuous woman. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass a broader sense of meaning, denoting someone who engages in sexual promiscuity or immoral behavior.

- "Monger" comes from the Old English word "mangere" which means "trader" or "merchant". Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "mangjōną", meaning "to traffic in" or "to trade".

When these two words are combined, "whoremonger" refers to a person who trades or deals with prostitutes, or someone who engages in the business of prostitution.
