Etymology

The word 'clitoral' is derived from the term 'clitoris', which originates from the Greek word 'kleitor', meaning 'little hill' or 'enclosure'โ€”a reference to the clitoral structure. Historically, the clitoris was often overlooked in anatomical studies and sexual discourse, leading to a lack of understanding about its significance in female sexuality. This oversight continued for centuries, as many cultures focused more on reproductive functions rather than pleasure. The acknowledgment and study of the clitoris gained momentum in the late 19th and 20th centuries, aligning with broader movements in women's rights and sexual liberation. Today, the term 'clitoral' is widely used in medical, educational, and sexual health contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding female anatomy.
