"scrotum" meaning in Latin

See scrotum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈskroː.tum/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈs̠kroːt̪ʊ̃ˑ] [Classical-Latin], /ˈskro.tum/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈskrɔːt̪um] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Not attested classically. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker(H)- (“to cut”) with an unexplained extension and the suffix *-tóm. See Latin scortum, scrautum, corium, Proto-Germanic *skeraną (whence English shear), Ancient Greek κείρω (keírō, “I cut off”), Albanian harr (“to cut, to mow”), Lithuanian skìrti (“separate”), Welsh ysgar (“separate”), Old Armenian քերեմ (kʻerem, “to scrape, scratch”). It may derive from an intermediate sense “piece of skin, leather, hide” as in scortum and other cognates, or “bag”; compare the semantic development of Welsh cwd (“pouch, bag, purse; scrotum”) from Latin cutis (“skin”). The formal details are uncertain: perhaps modified from earlier *scorotum, from Proto-Italic *skoratom, from Proto-Indo-European *skr̥H-to-m, but perhaps more likely a borrowing from an unknown source.

  "etymology_text": "Not attested classically. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker(H)- (“to cut”) with an unexplained extension and the suffix *-tóm. See Latin scortum, scrautum, corium, Proto-Germanic *skeraną (whence English shear), Ancient Greek κείρω (keírō, “I cut off”), Albanian harr (“to cut, to mow”), Lithuanian skìrti (“separate”), Welsh ysgar (“separate”), Old Armenian քերեմ (kʻerem, “to scrape, scratch”). It may derive from an intermediate sense “piece of skin, leather, hide” as in scortum and other cognates, or “bag”; compare the semantic development of Welsh cwd (“pouch, bag, purse; scrotum”) from Latin cutis (“skin”). The formal details are uncertain: perhaps modified from earlier *scorotum, from Proto-Italic *skoratom, from Proto-Indo-European *skr̥H-to-m, but perhaps more likely a borrowing from an unknown source.",

  "etymology_text": "Not attested classically. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker(H)- (“to cut”) with an unexplained extension and the suffix *-tóm. See Latin scortum, scrautum, corium, Proto-Germanic *skeraną (whence English shear), Ancient Greek κείρω (keírō, “I cut off”), Albanian harr (“to cut, to mow”), Lithuanian skìrti (“separate”), Welsh ysgar (“separate”), Old Armenian քերեմ (kʻerem, “to scrape, scratch”). It may derive from an intermediate sense “piece of skin, leather, hide” as in scortum and other cognates, or “bag”; compare the semantic development of Welsh cwd (“pouch, bag, purse; scrotum”) from Latin cutis (“skin”). The formal details are uncertain: perhaps modified from earlier *scorotum, from Proto-Italic *skoratom, from Proto-Indo-European *skr̥H-to-m, but perhaps more likely a borrowing from an unknown source.",
