Unzucht

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German unzuht (“immorality, vulgarity, rudeness”), from Old High German unzuht, by surface analysis, un- +‎ Zucht. Zucht originally means “discipline, education, manners”. Unzucht is derived thence, but was often restricted to the sexual sense already in early modern German. The simplex Zucht only later developed the additional sense “breeding”, with which Unzucht is now secondarily associated (“undue breeding”, as it were). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʊnˌtsʊxt/ === Noun === Unzucht f (genitive Unzucht, no plural) (also law, now chiefly religion) fornication; adultery; lewdness; promiscuity (any sexual behaviour considered immoral or forbidden) Antonym: Keuschheit ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== unzüchtig Unzuchtsparagraph widernatürliche Unzucht === Further reading === “Unzucht” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Unzucht” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “Unzucht” in Duden online Unzucht on the German Wikipedia.Wikipedia de
