  1. The word donkey is one of the most etymologically obscure in the English language. Until quite recent times, the standard word was ***, which has clear cognates in most other Indo-European languages. No credible cognate for donkey has yet been identified, though it is possible that it is a diminutive of dun (dull greyish-brown), a typical donkey colour; and originally, "donkey" was pronounced to rhyme with monkey.

    In the late 18th century, the word donkey started to replace ***, almost certainly to avoid confusion with the word ****, which, due to sound changes that had affected the language, had come to be pronounced the same way The /ɑ:s/ pronunciation of *** was eventually restored to /æs/ in order to reserve the distinction, but not without the curious consequence of American English losing the word **** entirely and assigning its meaning to ***.

    So in America it will still be a donkey punch lol
