[edit] Etymology 1
From the Old English assa, from probable hypocoristic form of Old Irish asan which entered the language through the Northumbrian dialect of Old English. Other Germanic tongues had no such word instead using forms similar to esol which does exist in Old English.
The Celtic word comes from Latin asinus and before this, confer Greek όνος (onos). This word has a Semitic origin, probably Hebrew, (ahton), "'she-ass'"). The Sanskrit अश्व (aśva), "'horse'") (Prakrit (assa)) may be related.

[edit] Etymology 2
Used chiefly in North America. A vulgar usage of arse (used in the UK and Australia), from Proto-Germanic *ars-oz. Cognates include the Old High German ars (German Arsch), Old Norse ars, Old Frisian ers and Ancient Greek ὄρρος (orros). Ultimately from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European *Orse ("'backside, buttocks, butt'").
