clitoris (English)

Etymology

From - κλειτορίς|tr=kleitoris|lang=grc, a diminutive of uncertain origin, probably from - κλείω|tr=kleiō||I sheathe, shut, in reference to its being covered by the labia_minora. The related noun form - tr=kleis|lang=grc has a second meaning of "a key, a latch or hook (to close a door)." Wooden pegs were the original keys; a connection also revealed in Latin - |nail and - |to shut (see close#Verb|close). Some medical sources give a supposed Greek verb - tr=kleitoriazō||touch or titillate lasciviously, tickle|lang=grc literally "to be inclined (toward pleasure)" (compare German slang ‘der Kitzler’ "clitoris," literally "the tickler"), related to Greek - tr=kleitus|lang=grc, a variant of - tr=klitus||hillside|lang=grc, related to - tr=klinō||I slope|lang=grc, from the same root as - |ladder|lang=grc. But many sources take - lang=grc literally as Greek "little hill." The Italian anatomist w:Mateo_Renaldo_Colombo|Mateo_Renaldo_Colombo (1516–1559), professor at Padua, claimed to have discovered it (De re anatomica, 1559, p. 243). He called it amor Veneris, vel dulcedo "the love or sweetness of Venus." Slang abbreviation clit first attested 1960s.
