"貴様" meaning in All languages combined

See 貴様 on Wiktionary

Pronoun [Japanese]

IPA: [kʲi̥sa̠ma̠] Forms: 貴様 [canonical] (ruby: (), (さま)), kisama [romanization]
Etymology: Compound of 貴 (ki-, honorific prefix) + 様 (sama, honorific suffix). First cited to a Japanese-Portuguese dictionary of the early 1600s, and likely existent some time earlier. Originally used as a term of honor and respect in the correspondence of samurai households, used to refer to social superiors. Later became a more colloquial term, and by the late Edo period, it was used to refer to social equals or even inferiors. Now in modern usage, this is used almost exclusively by males in a pejorative context.
