asinus.
ass, donkey; blockhead, fool, dolt;
Meaning & usage
donkey, ass
ass, cretin, idiot, dolt, blockhead, donkey (a slow-witted, inept person)
Where this word comes from
Unknown; perhaps borrowed from a substrate language in Asia Minor. Compare Luwian [script needed] (tarkasna) and Sumerian 𒀲 (anše). The lack of rhotacism of the intervocalic /s/ (which would have yielded the form *arinus) suggests that the word must have been borrowed after the 4th century BCE, when this phonetic shift became unproductive.
ass, donkey
stupid, asinine
