Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *ahma (“glutton”) (compare dialectal Estonian ahm (“glutton”), Ingrian ahmo (“greedy”), Karelian ahmo (“wolverine, glutton”), Ludian ahmo (“wolverine”)), probably ultimately borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Haćman- (compare Sanskrit अश्मन् (aśman, “eater”)).[1] Related also to Proto-Samic *vuosvēs (compare Northern Sami vuosmmis).
The meaning “wolverine” is possibly a calque from other European languages such as German Vielfraß and Latin gulo. Alternatively, according to SSA, the shift “glutton” → “wolverine” may have first occurred in Finnish and been calqued into Low German and thence into other languages.[2]
