English [edit]

Etymology [edit]
From Latin vulva, earlier volva (“womb, female sexual organ”), probably from volvare (“to turn, wrap around”). Akin to Sanskrit (ulva, “womb”).
Pronunciation [edit]
vulva (plural vulvas or vulvae or vulvæ)
- (anatomy) The external female sexual organs, collectively.
Usage notes [edit]
A woman's vulva with hair trimmed.
Vagina is often used to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally, even though strictly speaking the vagina is a wholly internal structure. Calling the vulva the vagina is rather like calling the lips the mouth or throat.
