Etymology
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)- Latin fellō Proto-Indo-European *-tisder. Proto-Italic *-tjō Latin -tiō Latin fellātiōlbor. 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.
