    Etymology

    [ pyu-'den-d&m ] (noun.) 1634. From Latin pudenda (“that whereof one ought to feel shame”), substantive use of the neuter plural gerundive of pudet (“it shames”); use in the plural (to mean external genitalia) was far more common than the singular form in Latin, as is the case in English.
