Etymology

Derived from fellate plus the Latinate noun suffix -ion, creating an abstract noun form common in English medical and scientific terminology.

Kelly Says

Notice how 'fellation' is rare compared to 'fellatio'—English borrowed the Italian noun form directly rather than creating its own, showing that Latinate languages had existing vocabulary for these acts.
