жопа

жо́па • (žópa) f

1. (vulgar) ass (the buttocks of a person or animal)

Uncertain, presumed to derive from a Proto-Slavic form which cannot be easily reconstructed. According to Vasmer, two probable hypotheses are:

• cognate of Polish gap (“rubbernecker”) and gapić się (“to stare”);
• cognate of Old Church Slavonic жупа (župa, “hole”) and Ukrainian жу́па (žúpa, “salt mine”).

• IPA^(key): [ˈʐopə]
