Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin word 'intercursus', meaning 'a running between' or 'intervention', formed from 'inter-' (between) and 'cursus' (a running). It entered English in the late 15th century initially denoting communication, dealings, or commercial and social exchange between individuals or nations, before narrowing in modern contexts to physical or sexual relations.
