Where it comes from
Borrowed from the German Coitus interruptus, a Latinism of Coitus (the then standard spelling of Koitus) and interruptus (Latin for “interrupted”) in 1886, a year after its German coining. Its antonym, coitus reservatus, was borrowed four years later, in 1890, despite having been coined five years before it, in 1880, in German.
noun
- sexual intercourse interrupted by withdrawal of the penis before ejaculation There can be no doubt, as maintained by Peyer, that the results of coitus interruptus are variable, and that very many practice it without experiencing bad results.
