Treachery so bad they had to resort to Scottish!
Scottish?
Cunt is almost certainly Germanic in origin. Old Norse most likely.
For the UK specifically, it likely comes from the Latin variant cunnus, meaning vulva. And Romans didn't spend a great deal of time north of modern-day Newcastle, a fair bit south of the border.
Thanks for the info :)
I was just having a little joke about how often the Scots say it. (With apologies to my Australian homies, I didn't forget about you.)
