- 1睪丸。醫療、正式場合用的中性說法；台灣口語有其他俗稱，但看醫生時就說睪丸最清楚。
A testicle is one of the two round organs in a male body that make sperm. They sit in a bag of skin, the scrotum, behind and below the penis. Testicle is the ordinary, neutral word — the word a doctor uses with a patient, the word a health uses. It is not rude, but because of what it names, English speakers rarely say it in casual conversation; between friends and in jokes people use slang words instead (balls, and others). The plural is testicles. Doctors also say , plural , which is the Latin form and feels more technical. If you ever need to talk to a doctor in English about this part of the body, testicle is exactly the right word to use, and there is no need to feel by it.
組成From Latin testiculus, the little form of testis. Latin testis also meant 'a witness', and the standard explanation is that the organ was seen as a witness to a man's manhood — though scholars have argued about that connection for a long time.
