polecat 臭鼬

来自古法语poule,母鸡,家禽,词源同pullet,-e,表阴性,cat,猫,即吃鸡禽的猫。或来自古法语pulent,发臭的,来自PIE*pu,腐烂,词源同pus,putrefy.

polecat (n.)
early 14c., from cat (n.); the first element is perhaps Anglo-French pol, from Old French poule "fowl, hen" (see pullet (n.)); so called because it preys on poultry [Klein]. The other alternative is that the first element is from Old French pulent "stinking," for obvious reasons. Originally the European Putorius foetidus; also applied to related U.S. skunks since 1680s.
