köken: From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (HMRA /xar/), [Book Pahlavi needed] (hl /xar/, “donkey, ass”), from Proto-Iranian *xárah, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kʰáras. The meaning of something large is presumed to be from the weight-measure خروار (xar-vâr), originally a donkey-load but later even too heavy for a donkey to carry.

köken: Probably a back-formation from arslet, definite form of arsel, with the same meaning, from an Old Swedish contraction of ars (cognate with English arse) + hol, hul (cognate with English hole), identical to English arsehole.
