Sample Sentences
Etymology
1. From Middle High German iltis, from Old High German illitiso, illintiso, of uncertain origin.
2. 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. See: Ancient Greek Nouns '
ἰός', Latin Nouns '
virus'.
