2. To have sexual-intercourse . Humorously defined by Frederic Mullally in The Penthouse Sexicon (1968): ' Nine-letter euphemism for four-letter euphoria .' See copulation for synonyms.
3. To engage in indiscrimitate and/or promiscuous sex .
Etymology: First recorded in Middle English about 1300. From the Latin fornax , meaning oven , kiln or fumace, and from fornix , meaning arch, vault or vaulted room, from the shape of Roman ovens, later the arched underground vaults of Rome, and finally a brothel , because the Roman vaults were used by poor, unskilled prostitutes.
