    Fun fact: the German word for to fuck “ficken” has its origin in this act of forced entering. I would guess the English word also derives from that…

      Eh what?

      *fug, *peuk-/peug-, *pei̯k̑- are quite different to forced entering if I understood German WP right.

      Not true. Wikipedia says it is not sure from where it actually comes from. Either from words meaning moving sth. fast sode to side. Or from the words peuk which means stechen which means sting/pierce.
