Etymology

    Etymology tree
    Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-
    Latin fellō
    Proto-Indo-European *-tis
    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.

      • 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 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.]
