onko condom lyhenne jostain?

Kehittäjänsä nimestä. :)

c-kirjain lausuttiin ennen s-tyylillä. Joten sondom.

Conpulzarion Domuniscium

Raamatun mies, joka ennen yhdyntää laittoi päästä sidorun lampaansuolen peniksensä suojaksi, jotta ei saisi lapsia.

Condomizator

Pussimaisen ehkäisyvälineen nimi juontuu mahdollisesti latinan sanasta condus (lähinnä ’säiliö’) tai englantilaisen Condom-nimisen tohtorin sukunimestä, joka oli Englannin kuninkaan Kaarle II:n palveluksessa.

In 1981, a scholar by the name of Kruck published a monograph entitled “Looking for Dr. Condom” (yes, this is real), where he tried to find the etymology of the word based on its usage between 1706 and 1980. He concluded with defeat, stating that the word’s origins had escaped him, but he posited one possibility that the word may have been used originally around the 18th century in the form of: ‘quondam’ .

‘Quondam’ is thought to have been derived from an indirect way of referring to the male and female genitalia in medieval Latin where they were referred to as ‘quippe’ and ‘quoniam’ for males and females respectively. Shakespeare has made use of this word in his writing as well. In “Troilus and Cressida” he proclaims, “Your quondam wife swears by Venus Glove”. Although most people think he’s making a pun here, the links between the word ‘quondam’ and ‘Venus glove’ are clear to see.

However, four years later, a scholar named Zacharias Thundy published an article called, “The Etymology of Condom” (1985). In this article he continued from where Kruck left off and came to an entirely different conclusion where he stated that the origins of the word ‘condom’ could perhaps be better explained from a combination of the words ‘cum’ or ‘com’, which means ‘with’ alongside the word ‘dome’ or ‘duma’ which means house.

‘Com’ + ‘duma’ = Conduma.

Now, Thundy mentions that this word was used in the contraceptive sense only from the 18th century onward but existed in earlier times but as a legal term (law must’ve been more fun back then, huh?).

Now, the reason why this previously legal term came to acquire the meaning of a contraceptive is because people began using it as a euphemism for contraception. Since medieval times, people considered the house or the abode where you live to be ‘something that covers’ or ‘something that protects’. Some even considered a house to be ‘a casing within which a shaft resolves’ (something to do with the architecture of houses in medieval times).

So, there you go. There’s no absolute answer to this question because neither study could say for sure if their conclusions were foolproof, but these are the best two options we have to work with.

Juuh, täällä on paljon on kirjatietoa, ei kirjaviisutta ja ylioppilaslakin jatkeita.
