ithyphallic
English
Etymology
Borrowed from Late Latin ithyphallicus, from Ancient Greek ??????????? (ithuphallikós), from ??????????? (?thúphallos, “phallus carried in festivals of Bacchus; ode sung in honour of the phallus; dance accompanying such an ode; dancer performing such a dance”) + -???? (-ikós, suffix forming adjectives meaning ‘of or pertaining to’). ??????????? is derived from ????? (ithús) (variant of ?????? (euthús, “straight”)) + ?????? (phallós, “penis; image of a penis, phallus”). The English word can be analysed as ithyphallus +? -ic.
As regards the noun, compare Latin ithyphallicum (“poem with the same metre as the hymns to Priapus”).
