Etymology

From cuck (“a cuckold or cuckquean: one who is married to an unfaithful partner”) + chair, alluding to a scenario where the person being cucked sits in the chair while watching their partner have sexual intercourse with another. The term is humorously claimed in accounts to have been invented by Ronald Cuck in a dormitory at Boston University, though this attribution is not generally regarded as documented. The term was attested as early as the 2010s but first popularized as a meme in 2022.
