Definition ithyphallic

Etymology

Borrowed from Late Latin ithyphallicus, from Ancient Greek ??????????? (ithuphallik�s), from ??????????? (?th�phallos, �phallus carried in festivals of Bacchus; ode sung in honour of the phallus; dance accompanying such an ode; dancer performing such a dance�) + -???? (-ik�s, suffix forming adjectives meaning �of or pertaining to�). ??????????? is derived from ????? (ith�s) (variant of ?????? (euth�s, �straight�)) + ?????? (phall�s, �penis; image of a penis, phallus�). The English word can be analysed as ithyphallus +‎ -ic.

As regards the noun, compare Latin ithyphallicum (�poem with the same metre as the hymns to Priapus�).
