There probably isn't a definitive answer; etymologists aren't absolutely certain where it came from (I'm assuming you're talking about the vulgarism for "to copulate" here).
Probably the best theory is that it comes from a PIE root something like *pug- meaning "to strike" and arrived in English through the Germanic languages.
It absolutely does not have an acronymic derivation ("For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" or "Fornication Under Consent of the King"); if it did, there wouldn't be the wide variety of cognates in the various Teutonic languages, and acronyms were essentially a 20th century invention... any supposed explanation of a word that existed before, say, 1900 that claims that it's an acronym can almost certainly be immediately dismissed as false.
Answer
The earliest written use is from 1475. The word has Germanic and Anglo saxon origins.
