No, that's an urban myth. When you think about it, virtually any word can be an acronym if you have a good enough vocabulary!
And think of how many other ways we've seen it...For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, etc.
Actually the word is Germanic in origin. (See my source)
"It's in the history books" is hardly a source...LOL
Nurseman's answer is absolutely debunked in my source: (Quote)
"It is not an acronym for either Fornication Under Consent of the King or For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge or for anything else. Acronyms such as these are unknown before the late-19th century and not at all common until the 20th."
It came from "Fornication and Unusual Carnal Knowledge"
It's in the history books.
It is an urban legend. Here is a source that explains the first usage of the word. The **** in the URL is the f word.
Barbara Mikkelson is a lovely lady, admired and respected by many, but she's apparently deaf.
Well, either that or else her husband "Snopes" is a very poor lover.
It's obviously a case of onomatopoeia.
I heard is as For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
the earliest record/first appearance of that word was in a poem dated sometime before 1500. In the poem there reads the line 'Non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli'. Translated, it reads "They are not in heaven because they **** wives of Ely." 'Fvccant (modern spelling: fuccant) LOOKS like it might be Latin, but is actually German, related to Middle Dutch 'fokken', Norwegian 'fukka' and Swedish 'focka'. It was also used in Chaucerain times in the sense of "dibble", e.g. A farmer would use his thumb to **** or dibble the soil, to make a hole into which he then dropped a seed.
