Like I said, if certain words cause offense then it's better they don't appear.

However...

"..language our forefathers thought was not needed.."

It's only in comparitively modern times that those words have developed into "bad" words, through use as insults or swearwords. They were entirely innocent descriptive words in common usage -- names for things --  for our forefathers, if we go back far enough.  We still have to have names for those things, but we use Latin or Greek, or English words with lots of syllables, because it sounds posher and not so low-class.

I have a dictionary from 1807 that doesn't list the word we're considering, which implies that it wasn't in respectable usage back then (though collectors of odd words might like to know that it does list "cunctation", which means putting off to the future something that ought to be done now -- i.e. procrastination.  I'd never heard of that one, although I do it often enough;  it most likely fell from favour due to users of the word being slapped by outraged, partially-deaf maiden aunts).
