Too Many Words, Not Enough Time
The Etymology Dictionary is explained on site as
You type in a word into a little, itty bitty box and it spits out what that word meant hundreds, if not thousands of years ago. In case you're wondering, it's a pretty complete list of words. I typed in the words fuck, piss, shit, bitch, slut, whore, douche, and they all came up. The words motherfucker, cocksmoke and dickweed did not come up.
Give this site a try, it's worth a look.
