Why this word is great
WHOREDOM — [Noun] The state or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual activity, especially for payment; prostitution. From Middle English *horedom*, *hordom*, from Old Norse *hórdómr* (“whoredom”), from *hór* (“whore”) + *-dómr* (“-dom”, a suffix forming nouns of state or condition). Unlike “fornication,” which marks a transgression of passion, or “adultery,” which defines a betrayal of a specific vow, whoredom is the institutionalization of the transaction, the condition where the body becomes a regulated market. It is the coin passed in a shadowed lane, the practiced vacancy behind a lamplit smile, the ledger where intimacy is tallied as a line-item expense—the quiet catastrophe of a human act where everything is given, and nothing is exchanged.
