In it, Fuck is traced back to Middle English 'fucken' and is first sighted in written use in 1503. The ideas that it comes from German and Dutch are possible, but not the only answer. All these languages come from an older language known as Germanic. The idea that the German 'to strike' started the whole thing seems to have become popular from ebaumsworld. I can't find anything to confirm it. Not being of very much help, I have to offer that we have an origin of written use, but little else. The origins are probably lost, but like most great bar talk, all of the little funny stories we hear about the world are 100% false.

It crept, fully formed, into the English language from Dutch or Low German around the 15th century (it's impossible to say precisely when because so little documentary evidence exists, probably due to the fact that the word was so taboo throughout its early history that people were afraid to write it down). The American Heritage Dictionary says its first known occurrence in English literature was in the satirical poem "Flen, Flyss" (c.1500), where it was not only disguised as a Latin word but encrypted — gxddbov — which has been deciphered as fuccant, pseudo-Latin for "they fuck."

One of my professors even wrote an article about it. The best guess is that it comes from a German word meaning "to strike", but there is still uncertainty. Perhaps this movie will clear things up?
