Clitorism (pronounced /ˈklɪtərɪzm/), from the Latin clitorismus, in turn from the Greek kleitoris + ismos, is a continued, painful condition in the female with recurring erection of the clitoris. The word is also used to describe an abnormal enlargement of the clitoris. Clitorism is painful, much like its male counterpart, priapism.
