fellatio
nounUK /fəˈleɪ.ʃi.əʊ/ · US /fəˈleɪ.ʃi.oʊ/
Etymology Learned borrowing from Latin fellātiō, from fellātus, perfect participle of fellō (“to suck, to 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.

- That the word "fellatio" has not become Anglicized is so clearly apparent that further comment seems unnecessary. […] Section 288a of the Penal Code is void for uncertainty as well as for the reason that it is not expressed in the English language.][1919 January 9, Supreme Court of California, In re Lockett, 57 Cal. Dec. 96
