Reasons for the use of 'bitch' and the significance behind it:

  • The name "bitch" is derived from the Old English word "bicce" or "bicge," which means "female dog" and dates to circa 1000 CE, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. It might have sprung from the previous word bikkja, which also meant "female dog" in Old Norse.
  • The term "dog" has long been used to denigrate both men and women. Dog was a term that was frequently used in ancient Greece to indicate to someone who was acting improperly or transgressively. A few examples of such traits include indiscipline or excessive violence, lack of hospitality, lack of loyalty, and shamelessness or a lack of restraint. According to classicist C. Franco, throughout time a "persistent symbolic relationship" between dogs and women emerged in Greek literature, expressing and reinforcing women's inferior status in society and presumptive inferiority.
  • Less literal interpretations of "bitch" may possibly have some connection to the Greek goddess Artemis. She was sometimes depicted with a pack of hunting dogs because she is the goddess of the hunt, and she occasionally changed into an animal herself. She was seen as being wild, free, vivacious, cold, impetuous, and gorgeous.
  • The epithet "bitch" was first applied to women in a pejorative manner in the fifteenth century.
  • Geoffrey Hughes, a language historian who specializes in English, claims that its original slang meaning mostly focused on sexual conduct.
