Usage notes When usedsynecdochically 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 ofjaded self-perception may be perceived: "I realize how they see me!") Such usage is usually consideredvulgar and is thus usually confined tocasual/informal registers ; its use in formal contexts is mildlyoffensive . Its semanticessence isimpersonalization (evenof oneself ), whereby a chief body partsynecdochically represents the whole self, with aconnotation emphasizing the person'scorporeality over theirpersonhood (from that viewpoint, compare alsowatch his hide ,show his face ,what's-his-face ,meatbag , orcrackhead ).

Declension
Etymology 3 From earlier*asus , fromProto-Baltic *ašus , fromProto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- ( “ sharp, pointed, edgy ” ) . With an extra suffix*-ro , the same stem also yieldedProto-Balto-Slavic *aśras ( “ sharp ” ) , whence Latvian dialectalasrs , as well as theLithuanian cognateaštrùs , dialectalašrùs . From this stem, there are also Latvian reflexes withak rather thanas (e.g.,akmens ( “ stone ” ) ,akots ( “ awn ” ) ), possibly a result of Proto-Indo-European dialectal variation. In Latvian, formeru -stem adjectives like*asus were assimilated into other classes;*asus gave rise to both ano -stem and ayo- stem variant which later on became independent words,ass andašs , with different semantic nuances (compare also, e.g.,plats andplašs , ordobs anddobjš ). Other cognates includeOld Church Slavonic остръ ( ostrŭ ) ,Russian о́стрый ( óstryj ) ,Belarusian во́стры ( vóstry ) ,Ukrainian о́стрий ( óstryj ) ,го́стрий ( hóstryj ) ,Bulgarian о́стър ( óstǎr ) ,Czech ostrý ,Polish ostry ,Proto-Germanic *agjō (Old High German ecka ,egga ( “ corner, edge, point, peak, blade ” ) ,German Ecke ,Sanskrit अश्रिः ( áśriḥ ,“ corner, edge, blade ” ) ,Ancient Greek ἀκή ( akḗ ,“ point, tip ” ) ,ἄκρος ( ákros ,“ sharp, pointed ” ) ,Latin ācer ( “ sharp ” ) ,aciēs ( “ sharpness, blade ” ) .[ 1]
