venereal
Related to intercourse
Venereal relates to sexual intercourse or its consequences.
The word appears almost exclusively in medical contexts: venereal disease, venereal warts.
The term has largely been displaced by "sexually transmitted" in clinical usage, making venereal sound dated or euphemistic.
Named for Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
