Etymology of EARBASH

The word "earbash" is derived from the combination of two separate terms: "ear" and "bash".

The term "ear" refers to the organ of hearing, commonly known as the ear. It can be traced back to the Old English word "ēare" and the Proto-Germanic word "auzon", both of which have the same meaning.

The word "bash" is derived from the Middle English term "baschen" or "basshen", which means "to strike with a heavy blow" or "to beat violently". It can be further traced back to the Old French word "baissier", meaning "to lower" or "to bring down".

When combined, "earbash" refers to repeatedly or violently striking someone's ears with words or talking loudly and excessively into someone's ear.
