олух
Russian
Etymology
From во́лух (vólux), from вол (vol, “ox”), i.e. initially воло́вий пасту́х (volóvij pastúx, “ox shepherd”). Less likely from Old East Slavic *оглухъ (*ogluxŭ), whence Ukrainian оглух (ohlux, “someone hard of hearing”), due to association between глухова́тый (gluxovátyj, “hard of hearing”) and глу́пый (glúpyj, “stupid”). Attested since 1769.
