Learned borrowing from Latin fellātiō, from fellātus, perfect participle of fellō (“I suck, I fellate”). The word started to appear in medical literature in the 19th century but it was still treated as Latin. In 1919, the California Supreme Court struck down a law criminalizing fellatio because the state constitution required laws to be written in English. By the late 20th century, fellatio was treated as an English word.

- 1897, Havelock Ellis, Das Konträre Geschlechtsgefühl [Sexual Inversion] (in German):
- In 7 oder 8 anderen Fällen ging die geschlechtliche Beziehung selten über enge Berührung oder gegenseitige Masturbation hinaus. In 2 oder 3 anderen Fällen ist fellatio die bevorzugte Methode.
- In eight or nine [sic] cases the sexual relationship rarely goes beyond close physical contact, or at most mutual masturbation. In two or three cases fellatio is the form preferred.
- [1919 January 9, Supreme Court of California, In re Lockett, 57 Cal. Dec. 96:
- That the word "fellatio" has not become Anglicized is so clearly apparent that further comment seems unnecessary. […] Section 288a of the Penal Code is void for uncertainty as well as for the reason that it is not expressed in the English language.]

- Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi): What was the name of the... that woman who gave evidence against the doctors? / Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor): Timashuk? / Lavrenti Beria (Simon Russell Beale): Yes. She's got everything we require for this situation: the location of all the remaining doctors in the Moscow area, a proven desire to survive, and a talent for fellatio.
