The English noun fellatio comes from fellatus, which in Latin is the past participle of the verb fellare, meaning to suck. In fellatio the -us is replaced by the -io; the declension stem ends in -ion-, which gives the suffix the form -ion (cf. French fellation). The -io(n) ending is used in English to create nouns from Latin adjectives and it can indicate a state or action wherein the Latin verb is being, or has been, performed.
Further English words have been created based on the same Latin root. A person who performs fellatio upon another may be termed a fellator. Because of Latin's gender based declension, this word may be restricted by some English speakers to describing a male. The equivalent female term is fellatrix.

Um, thanks.
You're a right couple of fellators.
Well, goodbye world.
Are you okay, William?

I wonder if you know the origin of the phrase 'fight fire with fire'? It's bugged me for years because it doesn't make sense the way people use it - if you try to put out a fire with fire you just make it worse.
If you were following the recent Australian bush fires, you might have noticed that sometimes firemen use controlled fires to burn away the bush to make a fire-break that the main wild fire cannot leap.
I suspect that this is the origin.

This process is known usually known as back burning or a controlled burn.
