köken: From Middle High German dierne (“girl; servant”), from Old High German diorna, thiorna (“girl; servant”), from Proto-West Germanic *þewernā. Doublet of Deern. The sense “prostitute” developed from the use for a “girl from the lower classes”. It is first attested in the 15th century.
Der, nach dem Schauspiel, hofft ein Kartenspiel, / Der eine wilde Nacht an einer Dirne Busen.
köken: From Middle Low German schȫke, from Proto-Germanic *skōkijō, cognate with Dutch scheuk (Swedish sköka and Old Norse skœkja are also borrowed from Low German). Perhaps related to the verb *skakaną (“to shake”).
köken: From Old French putain, originally the oblique case of pute (“dirty woman”) formed with the suffix -ain, from Vulgar Latin putta, from Latin puta (“girl”). Cognate with French putain, Italian puttana.
Inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (lwspyk' /rōspīg/, “whore”). Akin to Old Georgian როსკიპი (rosḳiṗi), როსპიკი (rosṗiḳi), an Iranian loanword.
