masturbation

masturbation
masturbation 1711 (earlier as mastupration, 1620s), from Fr. masturbation and directly from Mod.L. masturbationem (nom. masturbatio), noun of action from pp. stem of L. masturbari "t masturbate." The long-standing speculation is that this Latin word is altered (probably by influence of turbare "to stir up") from *manstuprare, from manu, ablative of manus "hand" (see MANUAL (Cf. manual)) + stuprare "defile" (oneself), from stuprum "defilement, dishonor," related to stupere "to be stunned, stupefied" (see STUPID (Cf. stupid)). But perhaps the first element represents an unattested *mazdo- "penis" [OED]. An earlier technical word for this was ONANISM (Cf. Onanism). Related: Masturbational.
