Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mustēlīnus.

Etymology: < classical Latin mustēlīnus of or belonging to a weasel < mustēla (also mustella ) weasel, of uncertain origin (perhaps related to mūs mouse n.) + -īnus -ine suffix¹. In specific use after scientific Latin Mustelidae, family name (see mustelid n. and adj.) or Mustelinae, subfamily name (T. Gill 1872, in Smithsonian Misc. Coll. 11 § i. 5; compare earlier Mustelina , J. E. Gray in Ann. Philos. 26 (Nov.) 339). With use as noun compare also French mustélins (plural, 1818 glossing scientific Latin Mustelini : see mustelid n. and adj.). N.E.D. (1908) gives only the pronunciation (mɒ·stĭlin) /ˈmʌstɪlɪn/.

A. adj.¹

Of or like a weasel; (Zoology) of, belonging to, or characteristic of the weasel family Mustelidae or the subfamily Mustelinae. Cf. mustelid n. and adj.
