"Ball" comes from Protogermanic "*balluz" which comes from Protoindoeuropean "*bhel-" which means "to swell".  :book:

English "shed" and Swedish "sked" (spoon) come from the same root as "shit"; the original Protoindoeuropean meaning is "to divide" or "separate"; *skheid- ".  :book:  :green:

The word "gun" origins from the name "Gunilda", a cannon in Windsor Castle in 1330. "Gunilda" comes from the Old Nordic names "Gunnr" and "Hildur", both meaning "war". "Gunnar" and "Gunilla" are still common names among people in my parents' generation.

The concept was well-known in ancient times, however. :P

Yup, and: "---chiefly U.S.; from dial. variant pronunciation of arse (q.v.). The loss of -r- before -s- attested in several other words (e.g. burst/bust, curse/cuss, horse/hoss, barse/bass). Indirect evidence of the change from arse to ass can be traced to 1785 (in euphemistic avoidance of ass 'donkey' by polite speakers) and perhaps to Shakespeare, if Nick Bottom transformed into a donkey in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream. (1594) is the word-play some think it is."
