形容詞

testitrahus (feminine testitraha, neuter testitrahum); first/second-declension adjective

1. (hapax legomenon, humorous) testicle-dragging.
   • c. 160 CE – c. 225 CE, Tertullianus, De Pallio 1.3:

     Equidem haud mīror prae documentō superiōre. Nam et ariētem (nōn quem Laberius reciprocicornem ait, lānicutem et testitrahum, sed trabēs māchina est quae mūrōs frangere mīlitat) nēminī unquam adhūc lībrātum illa dicitur Carthago, 'studiīs asperrima bellī', prīma omnium armāsse in oscillum pendulī impetūs, commentāta vim tormentī dēbile pecoris caput vindicantis.

     I'm not surprised at all on account of a previous example. For the ram too (not the one whom Laberius calls reciprocally-horned, wooly-skinned and testicle-dragging, but the siege weapon that smashes walls), not swung into anyone yet, Carthage, 'the toughest in the arts of war', is said to have first mobilised in the oscillation of violence, having realised the power of the engine by analogy of the anger of the beast that avenges itself with its head.
