From New Latin pēdīcātio, from pēdīcō (“to anally penetrate”) + -tiō (“-tion”); attested earlier in English in the form paedication, equivalent to French pédication.
pedicatio (uncountable)
“paedicatio, n.”, in OED Online , Oxford: Oxford University Press, launched 2000.
From pēdīcō (“to anally penetrate”) + -tiō (“-tion”, suffix forming abstract action nouns). Although the base verb is attested in the Classical Latin corpus, the derived noun in -tio is only attested postclassically;[1] it seems likely its use was supported by analogy with the sexual terms irrumātiō (attested in Catullus) and fellātiō (attested postclassically).
