Etymology

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)- Latin fellō Proto-Indo-European *-tis Proto-Indo-European *-Hō Proto-Indo-European *-tiHō Proto-Italic *-tiō Latin -tiō Latin fellātiōlbor. English fellatio Learned borrowing from Latin fellātiō, from fellātus, perfect participle of fellō (“to suck, to 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.

Meanings

  1. (uncountable, usually) Performance of oral sex upon the penis.
    • 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. 1897, Havelock Ellis, Das Konträre Geschlechtsgefühl [Sexual Inversion] (in German):
    • Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi): What was the name of the... that woman who gave evidence against the doctors? / Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor): Timashuk? / Lavrenti Beria (Simon Russell Beale): Yes. She's got everything we require for this situation: the location of all the remaining doctors in the Moscow area, a proven desire to survive, and a talent for fellatio. 2017 September 8, Armando Iannucci, David Schneider, Ian Martin, Peter Fellows, 28:09 from the start, in Armando Iannucci, director, The Death of Stalin:
    • 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.] [1919 January 9, Supreme Court of California, In re Lockett, 57 Cal. Dec. 96
