Brit.

/ˈvʌlvə/, U.S.

/ˈvəlvə/

Forms: late Middle English vlue, late Middle English vulue, late Middle English wlue, late Middle English wulue, late Middle English–1500s vulua, 1600s– vulva.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin vulva, volva.

Etymology: < classical Latin vulva (also volva) womb, uterus, female external genitals, of uncertain origin; perhaps from volvere volve v., as the womb envelops the fetus.Compare Middle French, French vulve (1488), Portuguese vulva (15th cent.), Italian vulva (1310). In classical Latin the sense ‘womb’ is much more common. The sense ‘female external genitals’ is attested only in Juvenal and Persius (in satire).

1. Originally Anatomy and Zoology. The external part or opening of the female reproductive tract; the female external genitals.In humans and many other mammals the vulva consists of the external and internal labia, the clitoris, and a vestibule (vestibule n. 2b) containing the openings of the urethra and vagina.
