excerpt from an article on 'literary hub' re the origins of the f-word: 'since many of the earliest examples of the f-word come from scottish sources, some scholars have suggested that it is a norse borrowing, norse having had a much greater influence on northern and scottish varieties of english than on southern dialects.'
