From Proto-Finnic *kürpä (compare Estonian kürb, Ingrian kyrpä, Karelian kyrpä, Ludian kürb, Votic tšürpä (Pummala)). The word is first attested in the writings of Christfrid Ganander in 1786,[1] with its first appearance in a dictionary dating back to 1848.[2] The word is sometimes said to have originally referred to a lone, tall pine tree, or alternately a strong branch on a pine top, such as formed when the top was damaged but remained attached, and a side branch started growing upward at the spot. In light of the notes above, this appears to be an urban legend; it is more likely that the pine-related usage is a later development than the sexually related one.
