piss. Piss is a fine old echoic word, echoing the sound of a bladder being voided, and is similar to several foreign words etymologically unrelated but meaning the same, including the Hungarian pisalni. The English word derives from the Latin pissiare, “to piss,” just as does the Italian pisciare and the French pisser. “Urinate” derives from the Latin urinare, which is what the cultured Romans called the same thing that the common man called pissiare. |
