Etymology 1
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 糞 |
| くそ Hyōgaiji |
| kun’yomi |
| Alternative spelling |

| 屎 |
From Old Japanese,[1] in turn from Proto-Japonic *kuso.
Cognate with 臭い (kusai, “stinky, smelly”), 腐る (kusaru, “to rot, to become stinky”).[1]
Derived terms
Idioms
- 糞の役にも立たぬ (kuso no yaku ni mo tatanu): “not even good for shit” (see 役に立つ (yaku ni tatsu): “to be useful, to play a role”)
Usage notes
This is not considered as profane as the English glosses. For instance, a child of five using the Japanese interjection kuso would be unremarkable, whereas it would be very socially inappropriate for a child of five to use the English interjection shit.
Noun
糞 • (fun)
