ANSWER
The term 'pussy' when referring to the female genitalia began as far back as the mid 14th century. The Latin word which transformed into the term 'vulva' is based in folds or rolls. This description at the time was used to describe the folds or rolls of flesh of the female genitalia. The word grew into a more clinical use and then followed with a more crude and vulgar use. As time progressed the nickname 'pussy' was developed. The nickname was created as more of a term of endearment. Meant to show more of an affection rather than a clinical or vulgar expression.
This isn't really an answer, right? I'm still confused. I don't get how "the nickname 'pussy' was developed." Major fail on your part, Answers.com. I always figured it had to do with being furry and a dude's abilty to make it purr. But there's no mention of that here. Hello, kitty!?!
