The original saying may have been keep the wolf from the gate, which dates from at least 1470. By the 1500s the saying had become keep the wolf from the door, with the current meaning that it bears: see, for example, the 1645 quotation.
There is a suggestion that the phrase may have originated from French or German phrases. Compare the French manger comme un loup (“eat like a wolf”), and the German Wolfsmagen (literally “wolf’s stomach”) means “a keen appetite”.

늑대

→ Japanese: ヌクテ (nukute)

Uncertain. First attested as Early Modern Korean 늑대 (nuktay) in the Gukhanhoeeo (國韓會語 / 국한회어), 坤:65, 1896, then subsequently as Early Modern Korean 늑ᄃᆡ (nuktoy), e.g. in in the Maeilsinmun (매일신문), 23 August, 1898. Any further investigation, either via attested forms or via morphological analysis, is difficult, even though the prevalence of this word across dialects suggests it must have been in use long before the very late 19th century.
Vovin suggests that this word may be an early loan from some Proto-Nivkh *likVt'V. Compare Nivkh лиғс (liγs) (Amur), лиғр̌ (liγř) (East Sakhalin).

wolf in sheep's clothing

wolf in sheep's clothing (plural wolves in sheep's clothing)

/ˈwʊlf ɪn ˈʃiːps ˈkləʊðɪŋ/

From Matthew 7:15 in the Bible (King James Version; spelling modernized): “Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

He ſaith, He doth not plead for all who go under the name of Miniſters in England; he fears there is many of them no better than Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, &c. Then why doth he not come out, and cry againſt them, but remain amongſt them in their Practice? For wherein can he clear himſelf of any one thing, which they are guilty of, which he confeſſes are Wolves in Sheep's Clothing? [...] I have as much ground to ſuſpect him to be one of the Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, as he has ground to ſuſpect his own Companions and Generation to be ſuch.

1659, Edward Burroughs [i.e., Edward Burrough], “Some of the Principles of the Quakers (Scornfully so Called by Men) Vindicated, and Proved Sound, and True, According to the Scriptures: …”, in The Memorable Works of a Son of Thunder and Consolation: […], [London]: [Ellis Hookes], published 1672, →OCLC, page 452:

If the wolf was to be feared, the learned gentleman might rest assured it would be the wolf in sheep's clothing, the masked pretender to patriotism. It was not from the fang of the lion, but from the tooth of the serpent, that reptile that insidiously steals upon the vitals of the constitution and gnaws it to the heart ere the mischief is suspected, that destruction was to be feared.

1785 February 9, Richard Brinsley Sheridan (Member of Parliament for Stafford), “[Proceedings relating to the Westminster Scrutiny]”, in [William Cobbett], editor, The Parliamentary History of England, from the Earliest Period to the Year 1803.

Byrne, […]; and J. Moore, […], →OCLC, page 310:

A deceitful man is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He will appear innocent, cheerful, polite, attentive, kind, obliging, and abjectly condescending; but let him once get you into his power and he becomes more ferocious, more cruel, and more destructive than the most savage animals that ever trod in deserts uninhabited by rational beings.

And if he preached other than the right doctrine, wherefore did his superiors in the Carthusian convent permit it? If the shepherds turn a wolf in sheep's clothing into the flock, they should not blame the sheep for being worried.

So the tales were told ages before Æsop: and asses under lion's manes roared in Hebrew; and sly foxes flattered in Etruscan; and wolves in sheep's clothing gnashed their teeth in Sanscrit, no doubt.

მგელი

Georgian: მგელი (mgeli)

desc

→? Laz: მგერი (mgeri), მჯვერი (mcveri), გვერი (gveri), გუ̂ერი (gûeri)

→? Mingrelian: გერი (geri), ნგერი (ngeri)

Related to Mingrelian გერი (geri) and Laz მგერი (mgeri).
Since long connected with Old Armenian գայլ (gayl, “wolf”) and usually considered a borrowing from it, replacing the native term due to a taboo. Note that dialectal Armenian գել (gel) is a late development within Armenian and is not particularly relevant for the comparison.
According to Klimov's earlier work, from Proto-Georgian-Zan *mgel- (“wolf”), he however remarks that in Mingrelian-Laz *მგარ- (*mgar-) is expected. In Klimov's more recent works, he no longer reconstructs Proto-Georgian-Zan, and is inclined to agree with the Armenian origin.

wolfaboo

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-wolfaboo.wav

Undaunted, Bridges has continued telling his story, thanking “all of you wolf loving fools” for gaining him new followers on his Wolf Control website. “I only had to ban 150 or so wolfaboos,” he crowed. “You people are your own worst enemies ... please, please, keep it up.”

2014 November 8, Betsy Marston, “Heard around the west”, in Lewiston News-Argus, volume 132, number 127, page 4:

Last year I came across a forum where wolfaboos believed that they were "special snowflakes" who where blessed with the ability to physically shape shift into wolves.

2018, Scary Garry SG1, 99, unnumbered page

Frustration with fluff and wolfaboos is understandable: at stake in Otherkin representation is not merely an opinion about how the community should be characterized, but the very idea that Otherkin identification is a viable way to exist in the world.

2019, Devin Proctor, "On Being Non-Human: Otherkin Identification and Virtual Space", dissertation submitted to George Washington University, page 243

(Internet slang, derogatory) Someone who is obsessed with wolves and identifies with them, especially a furry or otherkin.

sheep in wolf's clothing

sheep in wolf's clothing (plural sheep in wolves' clothing)

Humorous alteration of wolf in sheep's clothing.

The hunter-insects, as we have seen, disguise themselves so as to get near their victims unawares, and the hunted disguise themselves very often in the same way so as to avoid being seen, but sometimes in such a way that if they are seen they may appear to be much more terrible creatures than they really are. And so we have the sheep in wolves’ clothing.

Someone or something that appears fierce or threatening but is actually harmless or means no harm.

[…], London: […] [S. Mierdman] for Gwalter Lynne, […], folio xxv, verso; republished in Early English Books Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: Text Creation Partnership, p. 2011:

The dog eloped with a white wolfess, and proved a good husband and father until his household was destroyed by relentless man.

“Yes, they got here hours ago, just about the time you went prowling around like a wolf, they were supposed to come tomorrow, but I guess they changed their minds on the date.” / “Wolf, am I?” Jack laughed, taking the hint belatedly. “Well, maybe I am, and you are the wolfess I’m after. Woof, woof, I am coming after you.” / Anna backed away feigning fear, then laughed.

1947, It Started in Ravenswood, page 225:

“Another day in the George Lawrence Empire. Scene, the fox-trot ballroom. Characters, a wolfess aged forty-two and yours truly.” He rolled his eyes like a woman’s. “Tommy, hold me tight, will you honey?” he whispered in the role of the wolfess. Then the woman’s eyes changed into the sly and sad and abandoned eyes of a homo.

1954, Benjamin Appel, Sweet Money Girl: A Gold Medal Original, page 64:

In the crowd that welcomed him home, consisting of about eleven creatures, for all the others were hiding under beds, there was a speed-crazy young wolfess, with built-in instantaneous pickup ability, and in no time at all the wolf and his new-found mate were setting new records for driving upside down, backward, blindfolded, handcuffed, and cockeyed, doubled and redoubled.

1956, The New Yorker, page 28, column 3:

Allyn Ann McLerie slinks skillfully as cat and wolfess; Richard Hayes struts smoothly as “The Stork Who Married a Dumb Wife;” Kaye Ballard unleashes her lush voice, and Bert Convy and Nancy Haywood exploit their youthful vitality in numerous guises.

1963, New York Theatre Critics’ Reviews, page 327, column 3:

To prove the truth of his story, the werewolf, “using his claw as a hand, drew off the pelt from the head of the wolfess and folded it back even as far down as the navel, whereupon there was plainly to be seen the body of an old woman.”

1971, Daniel Cohen, A Natural History of Unnatural Things, page 46:

The dispute between Romulus and Remus, resulting in the death of Remus at the hands of Romulus, purportedly took place during their search for a new city-site to be situated near the place where they were suckled and saved by a wolfess when abandoned as infants.

1973, Roman Art in West Coast Collections, page 49:

Once upon a time there was a pretty young wolfess who was happy and carefree. She liked to flirt with all the young wolves, go to rabbit runs, and sleep till noon. She enjoyed all the nice things that young, carefree wolfesses do.

1979, David Knox, Exploring Marriage and the Family, page 45:

Ahead was a huge door to a walk-in safe, tucked behind in a long, partitioned desk and guarded by a pretty, prim-looking white wolfess in a Politzi-like ALPHA uniform. / Janoah walked over and exchanged salutes. The safe door was ajar, to her surprise. / “Who’s in there?” she demanded of the white wolfess.

The ultimate origin is uncertain.
According to Čuxua, from *თხეუ̂-ლ-ე (*txeû-l-e), from Proto-Kartvelian *txew-l- (“to hunt, to catch”). Other sources reconstruct a similar Proto-Kartvelian root but don't consider თხე̄რე (txēre) to be derived from it.
According to others, this is a borrowing from Ancient Greek θήρ (thḗr, “wild beast”), replacing the native term due to a taboo.

en-noun

Bernard's wolf (plural Bernard's wolves)

Formally discovered, classified, and named after Peter Bernard and Joseph F. Bernard, his nephew, after an adult male skin and skull was collected by them and brought to the National Museum of Canada.

Until very recently, humans never really cared much about whether species disappeared. History is littered with our indifference—dodo birds, great auks, 24-rayed sunstars, dusky seaside sparrows, Bernard’s wolves.

2015, M. R. O’Connor, “Introduction”, in Resurrection Science: Conservation, De-Extinction and the Precarious Future of Wild Things, New York, N.Y.: St. Martin’s Press, →ISBN, page 3:

An extinct subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus bernardi) that was limited to Banks and Victoria Island of the Arctic Archipelago.

Manitoba wolf

An extinct subspecies of gray wolf, Canis lupus griseoalbus, that roamed in the southern Northwest Territories, northern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and south-central Manitoba.
