Etymology

Pronunciation
  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈkeː.u̯e.oː/, [ˈkeːu̯eoː]
  • (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈt͡ʃe.ve.o/, [ˈt͡ʃɛːveo]

Verb

cēveō (present infinitive cēvēre, perfect active cēvī); second conjugation, no passive, no supine stem

  1. I move my haunches; I am penetrated anally.
    • 38 CE – 104 CE, Martial, Epigrammata III.95:
      Sed pedicaris, sed pulchre, Naevole, ceves
      But you get fucked, Naevolus, and you bottom beautifully
  2. (figuratively) I fawn, flatter.

Usage notes
  • Cēveō is a word for the action of the penetrated party in anal sex, as opposed to criso for the same during vaginal sex, futuo for the act of vaginal penetration, and paedico for the act of anal penetration; irrumo refers to violent oral penile insertion ("skull-fucking") and fello to the oral stimulation of the penis ("sucking").
