Quote:
We have the verb fellate from fellatio, so what is the verb of cunnilingus?
This is the question went to the Internet to answer, and I would like to submit one possible candidate to the learned scrutiny of this community:
Quote:
cunnilingus 1887, from Mod.L. cunnus "vulva" (see cunt) + lingere "to lick" (see lick (v.)). The L. properly would mean "one who licks a vulva," but it is used in Eng. in reference to the action, not the actor. The verb ought to be cunnilingue.
"Cunnilingus was a very familiar manifestation in classical times; ... it tends to be especially prevalent at all periods of high civilization." [Havelock Ellis, 1905]
