[Ads-l] Article on the etymology of the term "hooker"

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Etymologist J. Peter Maher has treated the term hooker
(prostitute) in a detailed article which appears in Comments
on Etymology (vol. 50, issue #6-7; March-April 2021, 62 pages),
I have now put it online and added an index.
