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”).
weasel, specifically a Siberian weasel, Mustela sibirica.
köken: First attested in the Dong'ui bogam (東醫寶鑑 / 동의보감), 1613, as Early Modern Korean 죡져비 (Yale: cyokcyepi). Ultimately from *죡져 (*jokjeo, “weasel”) + 피(皮) (pi, “leather, skin”). The first component, *족져, was likely borrowed from a Tungusic language through trade. Compare Udihe čokči (“weasel”), Oroch čokčui (“polecat”), and Manchu ᡧᠣᠰᡳᡴᡳ (šosiki, “chipmunk”). The semantic broadening of "animal's skin"…
köken: Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic дъхорь (dŭxorĭ), from Proto-Slavic *dъxorь. Compare Macedonian твор (tvor, “skunk”), Slovene dihur (“polecat”), Russian хорь (xorʹ).
