### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 屎 :
| Shang | Western Zhou | Warring States | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) |
| Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Bronze inscriptions | Small seal script |
| | Old Chinese |
| 杘 | *l̥ʰis |
| 尸 | *hli |
| 鳲 | *hli |
| 屍 | *hli, *hlis |
| 屎 | *hliʔ, *hri |
Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *hliʔ, *hri): phonetic 尸 (OC *hli, “body”) + semantic 米 (“rice”). The 米 component was originally three (, representing 小, as seen in ), four (, representing 少) or five dots (as seen in ) forming a ideogrammic representation of faeces in the oracle bone script, with four dots being the most common variant, thus representing a man defecating with faeces coming out of the backside. The Shang dynasty variants saw the 尸 ("body") component interchangeable with 人 ("human"); later, by the Western Zhou dynasty, 尸 variants with four dots became the dominant and sole-surviving form, however examples from this time period also exist where the 尸 component is mistaken for 尾 ("tail"), as seen in . During the Warring States period, the 少 component became corrupted into 米.
Shuowen Jiezi does not feature the 屎 character, however it does contain 𦳊 and 𡕝. 𦳊 is listed in Shuowen as deriving from 艸 ("grass") and 胃 ("stomach"), while 𡲴 is listed as the ancient form of 徙 (“migration”), however in reality this is not the case; 𡲴 is an erroneous form of the 屎 variant containing 尾, where the tail portion of the 尾 component is mistakenly written as 火. During the Zhou dynasty, 屎 was often used as a phonetic borrowing for 徙 (OC *selʔ); moreover, during the Warring States period, the Chu script character for 徙 consisted of 屎 with an additional 辵 (modern radical form 辶) added to represent the meaning of walking.
Following transition to the clerical script, a variety of alternative forms emerged:
* The 米 component was replaced with phonetic component 矢 (OC *hliʔ) thus creating the variant form 𡱁;
* Some variants added another 米 radical to create 𥻐 and 𥺶;
* Existing variants containing the 尾 component became 𡲔 and 𡱵;
* The body portion of 𡲴 also became further corrupted into 夂 (zhǐ), creating 𡕝;
* The tail portion of 尾-based variants became corrupted into 巛, creating 𡲑;
* The 尸 component corrupted into 广, creating 𢈍;
* Even the variant form 𢈍 became corrupted, where the 广 was simplified into 宀, creating 宩.
All of these variant forms failed to gain widespread usage, and eventually faded into obscurity while 屎 remained the dominant character variant.

### Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kləj (“excrement”).

## Japanese
### Kanji

(Hyōgai kanji)
* excrement, feces, poop

#### Readings

* Go-on: し (shi)
* Kan-on: し (shi)
* Kun: くそ (kuso, 屎)、ばば (baba, 屎)

### Etymology 1

* Kanji in this term
* 屎
* くそ Hyōgai
* kun'yomi
* Alternative spelling
* 糞
⟨kuso$_1$⟩ → /kuso/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *kusau. Cognate with 臭い (kusai, “stinky, smelly”), 腐る (kusaru, “to rot, to become stinky”).

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) くそ [kùsóꜜ] (Odaka – [2])
* IPA: [kɯ̟̊so̞]

#### Noun

屎(くそ) • (kuso)
* (colloquial) feces, excrement

##### Derived terms

* 屎(くそ)っ垂(た)れ (kusottare): dingleberry (vulgar epithet)
* 目屎(めくそ) (mekuso): rheum, eye mucus

##### Idioms

* 屎(くそ)にする (kuso ni suru): “to turn something into shit; to treat something as shit” → to make something worthless; to treat something as worthless
* 屎(くそ)の役(やく)にも立(た)たぬ (kuso no yaku ni mo tatanu): “not even standing in the role of shit” → not even good for shit
    (See 役(やく)に立(た)つ (yaku ni tatsu): “to be useful, to play a role”)
* 屎(くそ)も味噌(みそ)も一緒(いっしょ) (kuso mo miso mo issho): “both crap and miso together” → a situation where it is difficult to tell the good from the bad

#### Interjection

屎(くそ) • (kuso)
* (swear word) shit

##### 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.

#### Prefix

屎(くそ) • (kuso-)
* A derogatory prefix.
    屎(くそ)爺(じじ)い
       kusojijī

### Etymology 2
