What is another word for castration?
Pronunciation: [kastɹˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Castration, the act of removing or inhibiting the reproductive organs of male animals, is a controversial topic with many synonyms that can be used to describe the process. Some of these synonyms include emasculation, de-sexing, gelding, sterilization, neutering, and orchidectomy. Although all these terms refer to the same procedure of removing the testicles, each word can hold different connotations, depending on the context in which they are used. For instance, the term emasculation implies a loss of masculinity, while de-sexing suggests a less clinical approach. Regardless of the synonym used, the process of castration is generally intended to control reproduction or aggression among male animals and can have medical, social, or cultural implications.
