ass noun [C] (PERSON) a person who does or says stupid things: a pompous ass (Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary'den assın tanımı © Cambridge University Press)

The meaning of ASS is any of several hardy gregarious African or Asian perissodactyl mammals (genus Equus) smaller than the horse and having long ears; especially : an African mammal (E. africanus) that is the ancestor of the donkey.

From the same source as ass (“axle”), originally a unit of measurement corresponding to the length of a person's outstretched arms (compare Russian са́жень (sáženʹ, “old unit of measurement; length of outstretched arms”).

From Middle English as, ass, asse, from Old English assa ("male donkey") and assen ("female donkey"), from probable hypocoristic form of Old Irish asan, which entered the language through the Northumbrian dialect of Old English.

(Animals) either of two perissodactyl mammals of the horse family (Equidae), Equus asinus (African wild ass) or E. hemionus (Asiatic wild ass). They are hardy and sure-footed, having longer ears than the horse.
