Etymology [ edit ]

If the term is a compound of wind +‎ fucker, it may preserve an old sense of fuck (“to beat, to strike”) which is also found in cognates (for example, Bohuslän Swedish fokka (“to fuck; to thrust, to push”)) but was otherwise lost from English,[1][2] and it can be compared to the regional synonym fuckwind.[1] (Wright's English Dialect Dictionary compares fuck in the latter word to fjúka (“be driven (by the wind); fly”) instead,[3] while Liberman says the Norse word "has no [other?] cognates anywhere in Germanic".)[1] However, the synonym windsucker is almost as old, and was rendered in older texts as windſucker using a long s, so some scholars think windfucker is a misreading of windſucker; others think windſucker is a bowdlerization of windfucker. Compare the later term windhover and the Orkney term windcuffer.
