Etymologies

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition

[From the resemblance of the figure 69 to the position assumed by the two people.]

from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License

From the rotational symmetry of the numeral 69 – if rotated a half-turn (by 180°), the numeral remains the same, and a couple both giving oral sex at once have, in principle, a similar rotational symmetry.
