Etymology

The word "piss" originates from Old French pisser, likely of imitative origin (echoing the sound of urination). It entered Middle English as a vulgar term and has retained its blunt, informal connotation. Unlike many Latinate or Greek-derived words, "piss" belongs to the Germanic residue of English, evolving directly from colloquial usage without morphological segmentation.
