   My dictionary does not list the word 'clitorodectomy'.
   Is this really a word?  What is the exact meaning of this?

Look it up in a medical dictionary; pronunciation emphasis
in on the first syllable.  It means to (surgically) remove
a clitoris.  The result is to deprive a female of her
ability to have clitoral orgasms.  Something akin to having
the tip of your penis cut off.
