penis muliebris:
A 19 th century medical term for the female penis , the clitoris . See vagina for synonyms.

ETYMOLOGY: From the Latin mulier , woman .

QUOTE: Lawrence Paros. The Erotic Tongue (1984): ' Men have never tolerated rivals particularly well, and the clitoris (popularly the clit , 20 th C) is no exception. At one point they didn't bother with it at all, dismissing it as the penis muliebris (19 th C , medical terminology meaning " a female penis " from the Latin mulier, "woman"), thus reducing it to a vestigial organ , a weak homologue of sorts, something about as useful as a man's nipples .'
