I could find no English definition for this, and wonder how the Scripps-Howard's
Caroline's Corner would have defined it. In German, "Hure" is a female sex worker.
Which reminds me that the etymology of "prostitute" is a bit anomalous. Its root
is "stare" to stand. Not the ordinary posture of the sex worker.
Edit: belatedly I remember seeing Pompeii mural with sexworker standing astride
client supine recumbent on narrow table. De gustibus non est. Maybe he was fastidious
and desired no closer contact.
