If by the "F" word you refer to the common vulgar vernacular for sexual intercourse, the word is actually pretty old: so old that its specific origins are lost in the murky mists of time. This is partly due to the fact that, then even as now, it was more spoken than written.

The strongest etymological evidence points to German origins for the word as varying words that could relate to the act of sex have similar word structure in the language.

The origin of the word "fuck" is uncertain, but it likely dates back to early Germanic languages. It has evolved over time to become a widely used vulgar term in the English language with various meanings.
