strumpetn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈstrʌmpɪt/, U.S.

/ˈstrəmpət/

Forms: Middle English streppettys (plural, transmission error), Middle English strmpet (transmission error), Middle English strompat, Middle English strompyd, Middle English stroumpet, Middle English strumpat, Middle English strumpete, Middle English strumpeth, Middle English strumpid, Middle English strumppettes (plural), Middle English strumpytt, Middle English stumpet (transmission error), Middle English–1500s strompet, Middle English–1500s strompette, Middle English–1600s strompett, Middle English– strumpet, 1500s stroumpet, 1500s strumpette, 1600s strompit, 1600s strompitt, 1600s strumpett, 1600s strumpit, 1600s strumpitt, 1700s strumpert.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown. Various suggestions have been made as to the origin of this word, but none is convincing. A number of theories see strumpet as a formation in -et suffix¹; however, the identity of the first element is widely disputed. A long-standing theory suggests derivation from Anglo-Norman and Middle French, French stupre lechery, violation (end of the 13th cent. in Anglo-Norman) or its etymon classical Latin stuprum sexually promiscuous or lascivious behaviour, violation, rape. This seems plausible semantically but is problematic on formal grounds, since it assumes the operation of several phonological processes (e.g. intrusion of m, metathesis of r) which, although theoretically conceivable, are not supported by any evidence. It has alternatively been argued that the stem of this word is of Germanic origin, with Middle Dutch strompen to stumble, to walk unsteadily (Dutch strompen (now rare)), Middle Low German strumpen to stagger drunkenly, and the related nouns Middle Dutch stromp, strump stocking, gaiter, Middle Low German strump stump, stocking, gaiter often mentioned as possible etymons or cognates. However, the semantic link between these concepts and sexually promiscuous women is not immediately obvious. For a possible parallel perhaps compare German Strunze slattern (17th cent.), apparently a specific sense development of Middle High German strunze stump, unrefined lad, urchin, perhaps related also to German regional (chiefly southern) strunzen to roam around idly, to loaf, to brag. Alternatively, the semantic connection could perhaps be via the stocking perceived as a suggestive item of female clothing.

Now chiefly archaic or used self-consciously for stylistic effect.

A. n.

1. Chiefly derogatory. A female prostitute; (also) a mistress, a concubine. More generally: a sexually promiscuous or lascivious woman.
