french pimps (circa 1066)
The Indo-European ka, "desire," spread to Latin as carus, "dear," and Saxon as huore, "sweetheart." But the Norman oppressors transformed their selfish desire into charity, while subjugating Norman sweethearts into whoredom. Now every whore is a reminder of Norman oppression, of the lie of "prostitution."
