asshole

參見：ass hole

英语

词源 1

早期形式arsehole的变体，源自中古英語 arshole、arcehoole，等价于ass +‎ hole。同源词包括挪威語 rasshøl (“屁眼”)、瑞典語 arsle (“屁眼”)。亦对比德語 Arschloch (“屁眼，混蛋”)。自14世纪70年代起可考，取代了早期古英語 earsþyrel (“肛门”，字面意思是“屁股的洞”)。中古英语中最初的记录作ers hole (Glouc. Cath. Manuscript 19. No. I., dated 1379, cited after OED)、ars-hole (Bodleian Ashmole MS. 1396, dated ca. 1400, ed. Robert Von Fleischhacker as Lanfrank's "Science of Cirurgie", EETS 102, 1894, cited after OED.)

俚语比喻用法可追溯回20世纪，当时，20世纪20年代，用于指让人讨厌的地方（对比shithole），然后至晚在20世纪50年代用来指让人讨厌的人(Harvard Advocate 137, March 1954)。也有同位用法（如“You're an asshole moralist”, T. Chamales, 1957）。
