Oral-anal sexual contact; a sexual practice.
From Latin 'anus' (anus) + 'lingere' (to lick), following the Latin-based anatomical nomenclature pattern used in medical and sexual terminology. Entered modern usage in the 20th century.
This clinical Latin term shows how medical terminology using classical languages allowed doctors and sex researchers to discuss sexual practices with clinical distance—a pattern that continues today with terms like 'coitus' and 'copulation'.
