Wichse

See also: wichse

German

Etymology

In the sense “polish” an 18th-century back-formation from wichsen (“to polish”), from a variant of wachsen (“to wax”). The former verb then developed the sense “to wank, masturbate (of a male)” based on the back-and-forth movement. The noun sense “cum, semen” thence, but plausibly reinforced by the already existing sense of the noun.
