It raises the question of whether the "F" word had its
origins amongst the telegraphists.

My dictionary sez it came into existence around 1500 from
the Middle Dutch word "fokken" (thrust) and/or the Swedish
word "focka" (push) from which we apparently got the title
of the record breaking movie now playing in the US.
