===Etymology 1===
From {{inh|en|enm|asse}}, from {{inh|en|ang|assa}}, back-formed from {{m|ang|assen|t=she-ass}}, from {{der|en|cel}} (compare {{cog|sga|asan}}, {{cog|oco|asen}}), from {{der|en|la|asinus}}. Displaced {{cog|ang|esol}}, from {{cog|gmw-pro|*asil}}, also a loanword from the same Latin word. Sense “stupid person” from the animal's reputation for stubbornness, going back to antiquity (compare {{cog|la|asinus|id=figurative|t=slow-witted person}}).

===Etymology 2===
Variant of {{m|en|arse}}; used chiefly in North America. Ultimately from {{inh|en|enm|ars}}, {{m|enm|ers}}, from {{inh|en|ang|ærs}}, {{m|ang|ears}}, from {{inh|en|gmw-pro|*ars}}, from {{inh|en|gem-pro|*arsaz}} (compare {{cog|goh|ars}} ({{cog|de|Arsch}}), {{cog|non|ars}}, {{cog|ofs|ers}}), from {{inh|en|ine-pro|*h₃érsos}} (compare {{cog|grc|ὄρρος}}).

{{rel-top|Etymological notes}}
Contrary to the widespread belief of this being a euphemism, it arose as a [[pronunciation spelling]] (of the older form {{m|en|arse}} still used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) that shows the assimilation of {{IPAchar|/ɹ/}} before {{glossary|coronal}} consonants (especially {{IPAchar|/s/}}), a phenomenon that has been present in nonstandard speech from the {{w|Middle English}} period onwards; this is distinct from the later phenomenon of non-[[rhoticity]] as {{IPAchar|/ɹ/}} was lost before it could modify the preceding vowel. Other instances of this phenomenon (some of which retained both spellings with different meanings) include {{m|en|cuss}} from {{m|en|curse}}, {{m|en|gash}} from {{m|en|garsh}}, {{m|en|bass||fish}} from {{m|en|barse}}, {{m|en|bust}} from {{m|en|burst}}, {{m|en|passel}} from {{m|en|parcel}}; see [[:Category:English terms with assimilation of historic /ɹ/]] for a more extensive list.

=====Usage notes=====
* When used [[Appendix:Glossary#synecdoche|synecdochically]] to refer to a (whole) person, it adds a tone of anger or disapproval to the whole sentence:
** "he has trouble getting his ass up in the morning" is much stronger and more negative than "he has trouble getting up in the morning".
* The disapproval may not be of the person so referred to:
** "And who do you think has to clean this mess up? My ass does!" (Does not indicate disapproval of the speaker themselves, but rather of the people who made the mess.)
*** (A hint of [[jaded#Adjective|jaded]] self-perception may be perceived: "I realize how they see me!")
* Such usage is usually considered [[Appendix:Glossary#vulgar|vulgar]] and is thus usually confined to [[Appendix:Glossary#informal|casual/informal]] {{w|register (sociolinguistics)|registers}}; its use in formal contexts is mildly [[Appendix:Glossary#offensive|offensive]].
Its semantic [[essence#Noun|essence]] is {{l|en|impersonalization}} (even [[reflexive#Adjective|of oneself]]), whereby a chief body part [[synecdoche#Noun|synecdochically]] represents the whole self, with a [[connotation#Noun|connotation]] emphasizing the person's [[corporeality#Noun|corporeality]] over their [[personhood#Noun|personhood]] (from that viewpoint, compare also {{m|en|hide|id=self, synecdochically|watch his hide}}, {{m|en|face|id=self, synecdochically|show his face}}, {{m|en|whatshisface#Etymology|what's-his-face}}, {{m|en|meatbag}}, or {{m|en|crackhead}}).
* Its [[declension#Noun|declined]] forms function [[pronominal#Adjective|pronominally]] in [[syntax#Noun|syntax]], which is to say (regarding [[part of speech#Noun|part of speech]]), they are [[pronoun#Noun|pronouns]]:
** {{m|en|my ass}} = {{m|en|I}}, {{m|en|me}}, {{m|en|myself}}
** {{m|en|your ass}} = {{m|en|you}}, {{m|en|you}}, {{m|en|yourself}}
** his ass = {{m|en|he}}, {{m|en|him}}, {{m|en|himself}}
** her ass = {{m|en|she}}, {{m|en|her}}, {{m|en|herself}}
** your asses = {{m|en|y'all}}, {{m|en|y'all}}, {{m|en|yourselves}}
** their asses = {{m|en|they}}, {{m|en|them}}, {{m|en|themselves}}

===Etymology 3===
From earlier {{m|lv|*asus}}, from {{inh|lv|bat-pro|*ašus}}, from {{der|lv|ine-pro|*h₂eḱ-||sharp, pointed, edgy}}. With an extra suffix ''*-ro'', the same stem also yielded {{cog|ine-bsl-pro|*aśras||sharp}}, whence Latvian dialectal {{m|lv|asrs}}, as well as the {{cog|lt|-}} cognate {{m|lt|aštrùs}}, dialectal {{m|lt|ašrùs}}. From this stem, there are also Latvian reflexes with ''ak'' rather than ''as'' (e.g., {{m|lv|akmens||stone}}, {{m|lv|akots||awn}}), possibly a result of Proto-Indo-European dialectal variation. In Latvian, former ''u''-stem adjectives like {{m|lv|*asus}} were assimilated into other classes; {{m|lv|*asus}} gave rise to both an ''o''-stem and a ''yo-''stem variant which later on became independent words, {{m|lv|ass}} and {{m|lv|ašs}}, with different semantic nuances (compare also, e.g., {{m|lv|plats}} and {{m|lv|plašs}}, or {{m|lv|dobs}} and {{m|lv|dobjš}}). Other cognates include {{cog|cu|остръ|sc=Cyrs}}, {{cog|ru|о́стрый}}, {{cog|be|во́стры|sc=Cyrl}}, {{cog|uk|о́стрий|sc=Cyrl}}, {{m|uk|го́стрий|sc=Cyrl}}, {{cog|bg|о́стър|sc=Cyrl}}, {{cog|cs|ostrý}}, {{cog|pl|ostry}}, {{cog|gem-pro|*agjō}} ({{cog|goh|ecka}}, {{m|goh|egga||corner, edge, point, peak, blade}}, {{cog|de|Ecke}}, {{cog|sa|अश्रि|अश्रिः|corner, edge, blade|tr=áśriḥ|sc=Deva}}, {{cog|grc|ἀκή||point, tip}}, {{m|grc|ἄκρος||sharp, pointed}}, {{cog|la|ācer||sharp}}, {{m|la|aciēs||sharpness, blade}}.<ref name="LEV"/>
