Etymology

[edit]

Learned borrowing from Latin fellātiō, from fellātus, perfect participle of fellō (I suck, I fellate). The word started to appear in medical literature in the 19th century but it was still treated as Latin. In 1919 the California Supreme Court struck down a law criminalizing "fellatio" because the state constitution required laws to be written in English. By the late 20th century fellatio was treated as an English word.

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

fellatio (usually uncountable, plural fellatios)

  1. The stimulation of the penis using the mouth.
    Synonyms: blowjob, cocksucking, French, gobby, hummer, head, nosh, penilingus; see also Thesaurus:oral sex
    Coordinate term: cunnilingus
    • 1897, Havelock Ellis, Das Konträre Geschlechtsgefühl [Sexual Inversion] (in German):
      In 7 oder 8 anderen Fällen ging die geschlechtliche Beziehung selten über enge Berührung oder gegenseitige Masturbation hinaus. In 2 oder 3 anderen Fällen ist fellatio die bevorzugte Methode.
      In eight or nine [sic] cases the sexual relationship rarely goes beyond close physical contact, or at most mutual masturbation. In two or three cases fellatio is the form preferred.
    • [1919 January 9, Supreme Court of California, In re Lockett, 57 Cal. Dec. 96:
      That the word "fellatio" has not become Anglicized is so clearly apparent that further comment seems unnecessary. [] Section 288a of the Penal Code is void for uncertainty as well as for the reason that it is not expressed in the English language.]
