Libido

libido (sexual urges or drives)

Pronounced as (IPA)

/ˈliːbi.do/

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin: libīdō

In summary

Borrowed from Latin libīdō. The usual stress on the first syllable probably from a generalisation of the tendency that penultimate Latin -i- is short; perhaps also reinforced by association with Liebe (“love”), though this is speculative.
