Fotze

• F*tz*, F*tze (censored)
• Votze

From Middle High German fotze, votze, futze, probably from Proto-Germanic *fuþiz (“vagina”). Duden instead derives it from the same source of faul (“foul, something stinky”).

See also Middle High German fut, vut (“sheath, vagina, vulva”), German Fut. Akin to Bavarian Fotzen (“a slap in the face, on the mouth and the mouth itself”), Dutch vot (“arse”), Hunsrik Futz (“cunt”), Kölsch Fott (“buttocks”) and Scots fud (“cunt”).
