- ass




- ass: [OE] Ass comes ultimately from Latin asinus ‘donkey’ (whence English asinine [16]), and English probably acquired it via a Celtic route, from a prehistoric Old Celtic *as(s)in (source of Welsh asyn). As borrowed directly into the Germanic languages, by contrast, the n of Latin asinus changed to l; from this branch of the word’s travels Old English had esol, long defunct, and Dutch has ezel, which English has appropriated as easel. Further back in time the word’s antecedents are unclear, but some would trace it to Sumerian ansu, which could also be the source of Greek ónos (whence English onager ‘wild ass’ [14]) and Armenian eš.
=> easel, onager
