The word ''asshole'' (in North American English) or arsehole (in all other major varieties of the English language) is a vulgarism used to describe the anus, and often used pejoratively (as a type of synecdoche) to refer to people. History The word ''arse'' in English derives from the Proto-Germanic (reconstructed) word ''*arsaz'', from the Proto-Indo-European word ''*ors-'', meaning "buttocks" or "backside". The combined form ''arsehole'' is first attested from 1500 in its literal use to refer to the anus.

The metaphorical use of the word to refer to the worst place in a region (e.g., "the arsehole of the world"), is first attested in print in 1865; the use to refer to a contemptible person is first attested in 1933.
