pedico

Etymology 1
Widely considered to derive from. Some notable sources that advocate for this etymology are Gerardus Vossius (Etymologicum Linguae Latinae, published 1662), and Ernout and Meillet (who account for the long ī by appealing to analogy with as an antonym, comparing  "dishonor, violate"). An alternative, less commonly accepted etymology derives the word instead from the same base as and.

Verb

 * 1)  to sodomize, assfuck, buttfuck, bugger (to engage in anal sex, taking the penetrating role)

Usage notes
Based on the hypothesized derivation from Greek, the spelling with the digraph ae came to be preferred in Renaissance-era critical editions of Latin texts. On the other hand, the spelling with ped- is attested epigraphically in Pompeiian graffiti, and is supported by a couple of passages in the Priapeia that allude to the pronunciation and spelling of the word. More recent critical editions largely opt for the spelling with ped-.

The difference in denotation between the three basic obscene Latin verbs for taking the 'active' role in sexual penetration,, , and , depended on the orifice being penetrated rather than the gender of the one being penetrated. Thus, despite the hypothesis of an etymological link with, and potential connotational associations with a male object, this verb does not exclusively refer to homosexual activity: it could also be used of a man engaging in anal sex with a woman.

can be used transitively with the penetrated party as its direct object, or intransitively with an implied object. As a rule, it cannot take the penetrated party as its subject when used in the active voice: 'to be anally penetrated' is expressed instead by the passive forms of this verb, or by the distinct verb. Taylor 1997:356 suggests that Martial 3.98 and 11.88 show the development of a broader sense where the active forms of the verb, used intransitively, could encompass either role in homosexual anal sex. However, there are other possible interpretations of the cited verses.
