Pedantic PSA: the plural of "clitoris" is "clitorises". You can, if you're being really pedantic on Greek derivations, say "clitorides", but that tends to look like you've made a typo.
"Clitori" is never correct.

"Clitori" is never correct.
The etymology of "clitoris" is actually pretty unclear, and could have origins in any of the following:
-a little hill (noun)
-key (noun)
-to tickle (verb)
-hook (noun)
-to latch (verb)
-to sheathe (noun)
This is because there's kind of a lot of similar-sounding Ancient Greek words which are plausible.
Way to trample on the richness of the English language!
A dick can be a man who behaves tactlessly. This colours the penis meaning. A dick is a penis treated with a degree of contempt. Michelango's David has a penis, not a dick.
