kuwekong

Tagalog

Possibly from Hokkien, possibly either:

雞公／鸡公 (koe-kong, “pimp; rooster; cock”) according to Chan-Yap (1980), but the exact pronunciation POJ: "koe-kong" is unrecorded in the typical historical Hokkien dictionaries, since this term is typically used by Zhangzhou Hokkien and Xiamen Hokkien dialects, which the historically relevant Zhangzhou Hokkien-descended Early Manila Hokkien in the Philippines centuries ago that typically used 雞公／鸡公 (ke-kang, “rooster; cock”), typically pronounced the term as /kei˧ kaŋ˨˦/ back then, of which phonologically disagrees with the resultant word, kuwekong, which perhaps may have later been influenced by Quanzhou Hokkien-descended Philippine Hokkien 雞 / 鸡 (koe) +‎ 公 (kong). See also Zhangzhou Hokkien 雞母 / 鸡母 (ke-bó, “hen; female brothel keeper; procuress”), Singapore Hokkien 叫雞 / 叫鸡 (kiò-koe, “to visit a female prostitute”), Indonesian ayam (“chicken; fowl; female prostitute; slut”).
龜公／龟公 (kui-kong, “brothelkeeper; brothel owner; pimp”), according to Manuel (1948), but the exact term is also unrecorded in the typical historical Hokkien dictionaries. See also 烏龜 / 乌龟 (o͘-kui, “male brothel owner; cuckold; man whose wife or daughter is a prostitute”), 烏龜頭 / 乌龟头 (o͘-kui-thâu, “male brothel owner”), Cantonese 龜公 / 龟公 (gwai¹ gung¹, “pimp”), Mandarin 龜公 / 龟公 (guīgōng, “pimp”).
