Circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin (prepuce). The frenulum may also be removed at the same time, in a procedure called frenectomy. The word circumcision comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Female circumcision is a term applied to a variety of procedures performed on the female genitalia. Except where specified, "circumcision" in this article should be taken as "male circumcision". Some opponents of this practice use the term male genital mutilation (MGM).

abstract
  • Circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin (prepuce). The frenulum may also be removed at the same time, in a procedure called frenectomy. The word circumcision comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Female circumcision is a term applied to a variety of procedures performed on the female genitalia. Except where specified, "circumcision" in this article should be taken as "male circumcision". Some opponents of this practice use the term male genital mutilation (MGM). An uncircumcised penis has not had the foreskin removed. It is also called uncut or intact. As a religious term, "uncircumcised" describes someone not Jewish, or, metaphorically and considerably less commonly, a non-Christian. As used in the New Testament, it can refer to non-believers of either gender, regardless of physical circumcision. See Gentile. The term 'uncircumcised' is sometimes also applied to a woman who has not undergone female genital cutting.
