词源
weasel (n.)Old English weosule, wesle “weasel,” from Proto-Germanic *wisulon (source also of Old Norse visla, Middle Dutch wesel, Dutch wezel, Old High German wisula, German Wiesel), probably related to Proto-Germanic *wisand- “bison” (see bison), with a base sense of “stinking animal,” because both animals have a foul, musky smell (compare Latin vissio “stench”). A John Wesilheued (“John Weaselhead”) turns up on the Lincolnshire Assize Rolls for 1384, but the name seems not to have endured, for some reason. Related: Weaselly.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
黄鼠狼(n.)古英语 weosule,wesle “黄鼠狼”,源自原始日耳曼语 *wisulon(也源自古斯堪的纳维亚语 visla、中古荷兰语 wesel、荷兰语 wezel、古高地德语 wisula、德语 Wiesel),可能与原始日耳曼语有关*wisand-“野牛”(参见野牛),具有“发臭的动物”的基本含义,因为两种动物都有难闻的麝香气味(比较拉丁语 vissio“恶臭”)。 1384 年,约翰·威斯赫德 (John Wesilheued,“约翰·黄鼠狼黑德”) 出现在林肯郡巡回法庭的名单上,但由于某种原因,这个名字似乎没有长久流传。相关:Weaselly。相关条目及更多
