[edit]- ^ Adams, J.N. (1990), The Latin Sexual Vocabulary, JHU Press, →ISBN, page 126: “Irrumo in etymology reflects the popular obsession among Latin speakers with a similarity felt between feeding and certain sexual practices [...] It is a denominative of ruma / rumis, 'teat', and would originally have meant 'put in the teat'.”
