pudendum 

Another word for Vulva, also a latin word meaning "thing to be ashamed of."

Sceptics: I am afraid that old women in their more secret heart of hearts are more sceptical than all men: they believe the superficiality of existence to be its essence, and all virtue and depth is to them merely a veil over this 'truth,' the very desirable veil over a pudendum-in other words, a matter of decency and shame, and no more!
Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Book Two, #64
