Descrizione:

In general use for the buttocks of an animal or the hinder end of an object. 1615 <i>to be whipped at a cartes arse</i>, Askrigg (NRQS2/86); 1642 <i>take out theire forkes and rakes out of the Waines arse</i>, Elmswell (DW49). It was formerly not uncommon in compound minor place-names, mostly pejorative: 1342 ‘a piece of … land and wood called <i>Barherse</i> in Oxspring’ (YRS111/134); 1513 ‘one and a half roods lying on <i>Shytynher</i>s’, East Markham (YRS66/172); 1594 <i>two closes … called the Deepe Arse</i>, Midgley (YRS39/116). The combination ‘bare arse’ was frequent and it first occurs in an undated thirteenth-century charter: ‘also two perches of land … reaching from <i>Barherhs</i> to the hedge’, Clayton West (YRS39/42). It later became ‘Bearers’ as the name of a locality on Kaye Lane in Almondbury.
