Etymology section
editThe etymology section is clearly pushing the reader towards a certain perspective without adequately supporting the claim that "most sources consider the word to have derived from a Germanic word..." What sources? Not disputing the claim, I would just appreciate some article links here.
Further, in the next paragraph, the sentence about relationship with Latin cunnus, cunni, m. is phrased in such a way to make the reader doubt this possibility ("Relationships...have not been conclusively demonstrated."). Has the relationship with the Germanic word been conclusively demonstrated? If so, I would love a citation!
Also, this bit about Grimm's Law comes out of nowhere and similarly isn't cited. Is this simply an editor's speculation, or is this a theory that scholars have proposed? Once again, would like a link to an article or book chapter if that's the case!

Cunt (/kʌnt/ ⓘ) is a vulgar word for the vulva. It is used in a variety of ways, including as a term of disparagement. The term CUNT is no wonder that women do not like being called a CUNT because it is a disrespectful term for a disrespectful person. A CUNT is a woman that would go out and have another man ejaculate inside of her without using a condom and then go home to her husband/boyfriend and have him perform cunnilingus on her without either his knowledge or consent. That is very disrespectful. "Cunt" is often used as a disparaging and obscene term for a woman in the United States, an unpleasant or objectionable man or woman in the United Kingdom and Ireland, or a contemptible man in Australia and New Zealand.[1][2][3] In Australia and New Zealand, it can also be a neutral or positive term when used with a positive qualifier (e.g., "He's a good cunt").[4][5] The term has various derivative senses, including adjective and verb uses.
