名詞

inguen n (genitive inguinis); third declension

1. (anatomy) groin

   Synonym: īlia

   • c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Virgil, Georgics 3.280–283:

     Hīc dēmum, hippomanes vērō quod nōmine dīcunt
     pāstōrēs, lentum dēstīllat ab inguine vīrus,
     hippomanes, quod saepe malae lēgēre novercae
     miscueruntque herbās et nōn innoxia verba.

     Here, finally, slowly trickles from the groin the poison that the shepherds call hippomanes, which evil stepmothers have often gathered and mixed with herbs and not harmless words.

2. privates (sexual organs)
   • c. 69 CE – 122 CE, Suetonius, De vita Caesarum 3 44:

     Maiōre adhūc ac turpiōre īnfāmiā flagrāvit, vix ut referrī audīrīve, nēdum crēdī fās sit, quasi puerōs prīmae teneritūdinis, quōs pisciculōs vocābat, īnstitueret, ut natantī sibi inter femina versārentur ac lūderent linguā morsūque sēnsim adpetentēs; atque etiam quasi īnfantēs firmiōrēs, necdum tamen lacte dēpulsōs, inguinī ceu papillae admovēret, prōnior sānē ad id genus libīdinis et nātūrā et aetāte.

     He was excited with a greater and more shameful infamy, that hardly can be told or heard, by no means be believed to be allowed by the gods, like how he trained little boys of the tenderest age, which he called 'little fish', to go around between his thighs and rouse his senses with the tongue and by biting, while he was swimming; or even how he put stronger babies, not weaned yet, to his genitals as if to nipples, certainly more inclined to this kind of lechery by nature as well as by age.
