Etymology
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).
