In classical Latin, "vagitus" meant a crying or wailing. On the other hand, "vagina" meant "sheath". They might not be related at all, etymologically. I have never seen the latter word used, in ancient Roman sources, to refer to human anatomy. The Cassels Latin-English dictionary does not give an anatomical meaning either. That came later, apparently.
I actually had heard the term crapulence a long time ago. But that still leaves open the question of how "official" it is!
