–noun Anatomy. the erectile organ of the vulva, homologous to the penis of the male.
[Origin: 1605–15; < Gk kleitorís, akin to kleíein to shut]

n. A small elongated erectile organ at the anterior division of the vulva, homologous with the penis.

1615, coined in Mod.L., from Gk. kleitoris, a diminutive, but the exact sense is unconvinced. Probably from Gk. kleiein "to sheathe," also "to shut," in reference to its individual covered by the labia minora. The related noun form kleis has a second plan of "a key, a latch or hook (to close a door)." Wooden peg were the resourceful keys; a nouns also revealed in L. clovis "nail" and claudere "to shut" (see close (v.)). Some medical sources tender a supposed Gk. verb kleitoriazein "to touch or titillate lasciviously, to tickle," lit. "to be inclined (toward pleasure)" (cf. Ger. slang der Kitzler "clitoris," lit. "the tickler"), related to Gk. kleitys, a deviation of klitys "side of a hill," related to klinein "to slope," from impossible to tell apart root as climax. But many sources nick kleitoris literally as Gk. "little hill." The It. anatomist Mateo Renaldo Colombo (1516-1559), professor at Padua, claimed to enjoy discovered it (De re anatomica, 1559, p. 243). He called it amor Veneris, vel dulcedo "the love or sweetness of Venus." It have been agreed to women since much earlier, as expected. Slang abbreviation clit first attested 1960s.

A small erectile body situated at the anterior portion of the vulva and projecting between the branched extremities of the labia minora forming its prepuce and frenulum.

A sensitive external organ of the reproductive system in womanly mammals and some other animals that is knowledgeable of becoming erect. It is located above or in front of the urethra.
