語源 1

Widely considered to derive from Ancient Greek παιδῐκός (paidikós, “belonging to a (beloved) child”). Some notable sources that advocate for this etymology are Gerardus Vossius (Etymologicum Linguae Latinae, published 1662)^[1], and Ernout and Meillet (who account for the long ī by appealing to analogy with pudīcus (“chaste, pure, undefiled”) as an antonym, comparing dēpudīcō "dishonor, violate")^[2].

Based on the assumed derivation of the ē from Greek αι, the spelling paedico with the digraph ae, which is unattested in ancient inscriptions and transmitted manuscripts, came to be used during the Renaissance era in critical editions of Latin texts as an etymologizing spelling. More recent critical editions largely adopt the spelling with e.^[3]

An alternative, less commonly accepted etymology derives the word instead from the same base as pōdex (“anus”) and pēdō (“to fart”).

動詞

pēdīcō (present infinitive pēdīcāre, perfect active pēdīcāvī, supine pēdīcātum); first conjugation

1. (transitive, vulgar) I sodomize, assfuck, buttfuck, bugger (engage in penetrative anal sex as a male)
   • c. 84 BCE – 54 BCE, Catullus, Carmina 16.1:

     Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.

     I will sodomize you and facefuck you.

   • 38 CE – 104 CE, Martial, Epigrammata IX.69:

     Cum pedicaris, quid, Polycharme, facis?

     When you get buggered, what, Polycharmus, do you do?

   • 38 CE – 104 CE, Martial, Epigrammata XI.104:

     Pedicare negas: dabat hoc Cornelia Graccho,
     Iulia Pompeio, Porcia, Brute, tibi;
     Dulcia Dardanio nondum miscente ministro
     Pocula Iuno fuit pro Ganymede Iovi.

     You withhold anal sex: this was given by Cornelia to Gracchus,
     by Julia to Pompey, by Porcia to you, Brutus;
     The Dardanian cup-bearer not yet mixing sweet drinks,
     Juno stood in for Ganymede to Jupiter.

   • Priapea, Carmina Priapea 3.9:

     Obscure poteram tibi dicere 'da mihi [...]
     quod virgo prima cupido dat nocte marito,
     dum timet alterius vulnus inepta loci.'
     simplicius multo est 'da pedicare' Latine
     dicere [...[

     I could say to you cryptically 'Give me [...]
     what the virgin gives on the first night to the desirous husband
     while she foolishly fears the injury of another part'
     It is far simpler to say in Latin: 'Give me anal sex'

使用する際の注意点

The difference in denotation between the three basic obscene Latin verbs referring to taking a penetrative sexual role as a male, futuō (“to penetrate vaginally”), pēdīcō (“to penetrate anally, sodomize”), and irrumō (“to penetrate orally, facefuck”), depended on the orifice being penetrated, not the gender of the one being penetrated. Thus, despite the hypothesis of an etymological link with παιδεραστία (paiderastía, “pederasty”), and potential connotational associations with a male object, this verb does not necessarily refer to homosexual activity: it could also be used of a man engaging in anal sex with a woman.^[4]
