The word Kleitoris was used over 2,500 thousand years ago by the ancient Greeks
to describe a part of the female genitals, most probably the Labia Minora or Inner
lips of the Vagina. In 1593 at the trial of a woman accused of witchcraft, the
inquisitor (a married man) discovered a Clitoris for the first time. When he saw
this "little lump of flesh sticking out to the length of half an inch"
he decided that it must be the "Devil's Teat". The other inquisitors,
likewise astounded, agreed and on this fact the woman was convicted and executed
for witchcraft. The word "Clitoris" first appeared in the English language
in 1615, it was used in an early anatomy book to describe a small, sensitive organ
located underneath the upper apex of the Labia Minora.
