Definitions and meaning of pudendum

pudendum

Etymology

From Latin pudenda (“that whereof one ought to feel shame”), substantive use of the neuter plural gerundive of pudet (“it shames”); in Latin the usage in the plural form (to mean external genitalia), was far more common than the singular form, as is also the case in English.

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) enPR: pyo͝odĕnʹdəm, pyo͞odĕnʹdəm, IPA(key): /pjʊˈdɛndəm/, /pjuːˈdɛndəm/

Noun

pudendum (plural pudenda)

  1. (usually in the plural) An external genital organ in a human; especially a woman’s vulva.
  2. (in the plural) A person’s genital organ, mons pubis, anus, and buttocks collectively.
  3. (figuratively) A shameful part of something.

Usage notes

  • This term appears far more frequently in the plural — as pudenda — than in the singular, analogously with genitalia, which is rarely encountered in its obscure singular form genitale, and with genitals, a plurale tantum whose hypothetical singular form, genital, is otherwise an adjective in English.
