Etymology
1. First attested in the 15th century, chiefly in the feminine form zorra. Of unclear origin:
2. * perhaps from Paleo-Hispanic. If so, it may be related to Spanish perro,
3. * perhaps from Middle French sor (“yellowish-brown, reddish-brown, sorrel”), or
4. * perhaps from Basque azeri (“fox”).
5. * A fourth suggestion, that the term derives from a verb *zorrar from onomatopoeia, is considered "far from convincing" and "unprovable". See: Spanish Adjectives '
perro'.
