Etymology

Uncertain. At least two proposals exist:

  1. Borrowed from Spanish asno or Latin asinus, phonetically improbable.
  2. From hartz (bear) +‎ -to (diminutive suffix), phonetically impeccable, but semantically strange.

If the second is correct, then may be related to Aquitanian *asto, found in Asto Ilunno.
