### Noun

vagina (plural vaginas or vaginae or (obsolete) vaginæ)

    Synonyms: see Thesaurus:vagina
    Hypernyms: internal genitalia; Müllerian duct, paramesonephric duct, urogenital sinus
** 1991, Richard Evan Jones, Human Reproductive Biology, →ISBN, page 61:The epithelial lining of the vagina consists of many layers of flattened cells. Changes in the condition of these cells during the menstrual cycle can be detected by swabbing the lining and looking at the cells under a microscope.
** (zootomy) A similar part in some invertebrates and non-mammalian amniotes.
* (botany) A sheathlike structure, such as the leaf of a grass that surrounds a stem.

* (transgender slang) The anus of a trans woman.

#### Usage notes

* In technical discussions of anatomy, the vagina is a wholly internal structure and the vulva is wholly external, but in common use (since at least the 1930s), vagina can refer to the vulva or function as a general term for the entire genitalia.

** 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.579:Dixit, vaginaque eripit ensem fulmineum, strictoque ferit retinacula ferro.He said, and from its scabbard forth he flashed the lightning of his sword, with his sword he struck the hawsers.
** 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 4.928–930:‘inquinet arma situs, cōnātusque aliquis vāgīnā dūcere ferrum adstrictum longā sentiat esse morā.’Literally: ‘‘May [rust] stain weapons having been set down, and anyone having tried to draw from the scabbard to be feeling the iron having been tightened by a prolonged delay.’’ Or in more natural English: ‘‘May rust stain disused weapons, and let anyone who tries to pull his sword from the scabbard feel it stuck by long neglect.’’
    Mitte gladium in vaginam. ― Put the sword into its sheath.
    Gladium vaginā proripere. ― To draw a sword from the sheath hastily.
* (transferred sense) the covering, sheath, holder of anything
** c. 77 CE – 79 CE, Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia XI.198:Omnia quidem principalia viscera membranis propriis ac velut vaginis inclusit providens natura.Indeed provident Nature has enclosed all the principal internal organs with special membranes serving as sheaths.
