introitus vaginæ

== English == === Alternative forms === introitus vaginae === Etymology === From Latin introitus vāgīnæ (“entrance of [a/the] vagina”). === Pronunciation === singular (Received Pronunciation) enPR: ĭntrōʹĭtəs vəjīʹnē, IPA(key): /ɪnˈtɹəʊ.ɪtəs vəˈdʒaɪniː/ homographic plural (Received Pronunciation) enPR: ĭntrōʹĭto͞os vəjīʹnē, IPA(key): /ɪnˈtɹəʊ.ɪtuːs vəˈdʒaɪniː/ === Noun === introitus vaginæ (plural introitus vaginæ or introitus vaginarum) (anatomy) The entrance to the vagina. ==== Usage notes ==== The logical plural form of this Latinate phrase is introitus vaginarum — introitūs (“entrances”) vaginarum (“of vaginæ”) — and not introitus vaginæ — introitūs (“entrances”) vaginæ (“of a vagina”), since a single vagina does not have multiple entrances (extraordinary cases notwithstanding). ==== Synonyms ==== vaginal introitus vaginal opening ==== Derived terms ==== introitus neovaginae ==== Translations ====
