Talk:Whore (disambiguation)

Origin
Historians believe "Whore" was originated during the prehistoric times of the Indo-Europeans. The prehistoric Indo-European root *kā which meant to like, or to desire. From the root *kā came the stem *kāro, which helped derive the prehistoric common Germanic word hōraz that had the meaning “one who desire, or adulterer”. Now lets take a look at the feminine forum of hōraz; hōrōn. This was the main stepping-stone to the creation of the old English words “hore”, and “harlot”. The Old English definition of “hore” is a person who is considered to be sexually promiscuous, accepts payment in exchange for sexual relations, and compromises one’s principles for personal gain. A “harlot” was a biblical term used in the bible to describe people who pursued the act of prostitution. The present day spelling and definition of whore correlates directly to "hore" and "harlot".

Changing the header to make it make sense
Shouldn't it be "A whore is a derogatory term for prostitute."?

I'd edit it myself but I'm unable to since the page is semi-protected. Wafflbaum (talk) 18:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I second Wafflbaum above – it would make more sense grammatically. 2A00:23C5:50E8:EE01:CCAC:CD8A:B512:4030 (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with Wafflbaum, weird why it's prostitution. 77.105.19.237 (talk) 18:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
