Genital Area

The Genital Area (pronunciation: /ˈjenɪtl ˈeəriə/) is a term used to describe the area of the body that includes the reproductive organs.

Etymology

The term "genital" comes from the Latin word "genitalis," which means "pertaining to generation or birth." The term "area" comes from the Latin word "area," which means "a level piece of ground."
