    Etymology tree
    Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-
    Latin fellō
    Proto-Italic *-tjō
    Latin -tiō
    English fellatio

    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

      • 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.]
