Etymology

The word 'pudenda' comes from the Latin word 'pudendum', which is derived from the verb 'pudere', meaning 'to be ashamed'. It reflects the cultural attitudes towards the external genitalia, often seen as subject to modesty or shame. The use of the term has evolved over time, gaining prominence in medical literature during the Renaissance and continuing into modern anatomical studies. In English, 'pudenda' specifically refers to the external genitalia of both genders, although it is more frequently associated with female anatomy. The term has also been used in literature and psychology to discuss themes of sexuality and modesty.
