Usage notes

Based on paedīcō, an etymologizing spelling of pēdīcō (“to penetrate anally”); modern classicists generally consider pēdīcō a more accurate representation of this verb's Classical Latin spelling (see the notes at the linked entry). This noun itself is unattested in Classical Latin with either spelling.
