Etymology
Inherited from Vulgar Latin *fīca, from Latin fīcus (“fig tree or fruit”). The obscene meaning derives from the fact that when the fig fruit is open, the insides look like a woman's vulva. Compare Catalan and Occitan figa, Dalmatian faica, Aromanian hicã, Sicilian ficu. See: Latin Nouns '
fīcus'.
