While often used to describe a vagina or an unbecoming person, originally used in old English to describe hitting someone with force. Since women were often the recipients of slaps or punches, the term 'cunt' began to apply to women, and then to their genitalia.

Get the cunted mug.
Person 1 - That conniving underhand needless twat is a right cunt.
Person 2 - And he also smells of piss.

A term for the female genitals, and a highly insulting term (if you're American; many people in Britain and Austrailia actually use it among frends as a term of endearment).
"Pudenda" is used more often and concidered aomewhat less "value-laden", but it's often overlooked that "pudenda" comes from "pudendum", which means "shameful part"; many societies see the vulva as unclean and/or shameful, but there's nothing shameful about the female genitals. "Cunt" is a native English word (and there aren't many of those) It goes back to an Old Germanic stem "kunton".
It may have arose by Grimm's law operating on the Proto-Indo-European root gen/gon = "create, become" seen in gonads, genital, gamete, genetics, gene, or the Proto-Indo-European root gwne/gune = "woman" seen in gynaecology. The prefix 'cu' is one of the oldest word-sounds in recorded language. It is an expression quintessentially associated with femininity, and is the basis of 'cow' ('female animal'), 'queen' ('female monarch'), and, of course, 'cunt' ('female genital'). The word's second most significant influence is the Latin term 'cuneus', meaning 'wedge', from which comes 'cunnus' ('vagina').
Sadly, this ancient word has been abused so much, and has been used against women very often.

Turned into a "dirty word" by the Circle of the Universally Nurturing Transcendental Sisterhood (CUNTS), the secret organization behind all feminism and feminazism. Their logic was that if no one was willing to use their acronym for fear of being ostracized, their existence would remain a secret.
"It's bad enough she's a paganazi and a veganazi; does she have to be a cunt, too?"
"Oh my god -- she belongs to the Circle of the Universally Nurturing Transcendental Sisterhood?"
