köken: From Middle High German iltis, from Old High German illitiso, illintiso, of uncertain origin. Perhaps a compound from the Proto-Indo-European roots *h₁el- (“red, brown”) and *weys- (“to flow, run”). The latter was probably used for animal secretions, whence the noun *wiso- or *wisós (“fluidity, slime, reek, poison”), as in Wiesel and Wisent; compare Ancient Greek ἰός (iós) and Latin virus.

köken: From Middle Dutch bunsinc, bonsinc, also boesinc, businc. Further etymology unknown, not found outside the Ingvaeonic language area. Probably a derivative of the dialectal term boes (“stable”) with the now-unproductive suffix -ing (“originating from, inhabitant of”).
köken: Borrowed from English skunks, plural of skunk, from an unattested Southern New England Algonquian word, cognate with Abenaki segôgw, from Proto-Algonquian *šeka·kwa, from *šek-.
köken: Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic дъхорь (dŭxorĭ), from Proto-Slavic *dъxorь. Compare Macedonian твор (tvor, “skunk”), Slovene dihur (“polecat”), Russian хорь (xorʹ).
