köken: 15th century, from Futter (“lining”, formerly also “sheath”) + -al. Said to have been formed after Medieval Latin fotrale, but this is sparsely attested and no earlier than the German; thus perhaps inspired by Middle French fourrel, from Old French forrel (11th c.). All words ultimately derive from Proto-Germanic *fōdrą (“sheath, lining”).
köken: Inherited from Latin vāgīna (with change of /w/ to /ɡw/ influenced by Germanic). Compare French gaine, Spanish vaina, Sicilian vajina, Portuguese bainha. Doublet of vagina.
