dildo

== English == === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈdɪldəʊ/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈdɪldoʊ/ Rhymes: -ɪldəʊ Hyphenation: dil‧do === Etymology 1 === Unclear; possibly an alteration of English diddle. Compare the use as an expressive nonsense syllable in often sexual songs and the spelling dil doul, found in e.g. The Maids Complaint for want of a Dil Doul, a song in the library of Samuel Pepys. Unlikely to be related to Italian diletto (“delight”) or Latin dīlātō (“to open up, spread”), often cited etymologies. ==== Noun ==== dildo (plural dildos or dildoes) A device used for sexual penetration or another sexual activity. An artificial penis. (slang, vulgar, derogatory) Any device or implement. (slang, derogatory) An idiot; a bore. Synonyms: see Thesaurus:idiot A columnar cactus of the West Indies (Pilosocereus royenii). ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== ===== Translations ===== ===== See also ===== fleshlight vibrator ==== Verb ==== dildo (third-person singular simple present dildoes, present participle dildoing, simple past and past participle dildoed) (transitive) To penetrate with a dildo or with another object as if it were a dildo. === Etymology 2 === Related to other nonsense syllables like dido and diddle(-diddle), which similarly developed sexual senses. Found since at least the 1500s, often in contexts where allusion is being made to the sexual sense (above). Possibly influenced by Middle English dildoun (“darling, pet”), early modern English dildin (“sweetheart”); compare Old Norse dilla (“to lull”), dillindo (“lullaby”). ==== Alternative forms ==== dildoides, dildidoes pl (17th c.) ==== Interjection ==== dildo (obsolete) A burden: a phrase or theme that recurs at the end of a verse of a folk song. ==== Further reading ==== dildo on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === References === == Czech == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈdɪldo] === Noun === dildo n dildo Synonym: robertek ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “dildo”, in Příruční slovník jazyka českého (in Czech), 1935–1957 “dildo”, in Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (in Czech), 1960–1971, 1989 == Danish == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Noun === dildo c (definite singular dildoen, indefinite plural dildoer, definite plural dildoerne) dildo == Dutch == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈdɪl.doː/ Hyphenation: dil‧do === Noun === dildo m (plural dildo's, no diminutive) dildo Synonym: kunstpenis Hypernym: seksspeeltje ==== Derived terms ==== == Finnish == === Etymology === From English dildo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈdildo/, [ˈdildo̞] Rhymes: -ildo Syllabification(key): dil‧do Hyphenation(key): dil‧do === Noun === dildo dildo ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “dildo”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[4] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Noun === dildo m (definite singular dildoen, indefinite plural dildoer, definite plural dildoene) dildo == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Noun === dildo m (definite singular dildoen, indefinite plural dildoar, definite plural dildoane) dildo == Polish == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈdil.dɔ/ Rhymes: -ildɔ Syllabification: dil‧do === Noun === dildo n dildo (artificial phallus) ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “dildo”, in Wielki słownik języka polskiego‎[5] (in Polish), Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN “dildo”, in Polish dictionaries at PWN‎[6] (in Polish) == Portuguese == === Etymology === Unadapted borrowing from English dildo. === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: dil‧do === Noun === dildo m (plural dildos) dildo Synonym: (Brazil) consolo === Further reading === “dildo”, in Dicionário infopédia da Lingua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), Porto: Porto Editora, 2003–2026 “dildo”, in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), Lisbon: Priberam, 2008–2026 == Romanian == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Noun === dildo n (plural dildouri) dildo ==== Declension ==== == Spanish == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈdildo/ [ˈd̪il̪.d̪o] Rhymes: -ildo Syllabification: dil‧do === Noun === dildo m (plural dildos) dildo Synonym: consolador === Further reading === “dildo”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025 == Swedish == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Noun === dildo c a dildo Synonym: löskuk ==== Declension ==== ==== See also ==== massagestav (“vibrator”) sexleksak (“sex toy”) === References === “dildo”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “dildo”, in Svenska Akademiens ordlista [Wordlist of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) == Turkish == === Etymology === Borrowed from English dildo. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈdildo] Hyphenation: dil‧do === Noun === dildo (definite accusative dildoyu, plural dildolar) dildo ==== Declension ====
