"mustela" meaning in Latin

See mustela in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /muːsˈteː.la/ [Classical-Latin], [muːs̠ˈt̪eːɫ̪ä] [Classical-Latin], /musˈte.la/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [musˈt̪ɛːlä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: PIE word *múh₂s Probably from unattested form *mūstrelā, a diminutive from a Proto-Italic *mūstrā (“mouse-like animal”) (reflected in mūstricula (“last”)), related to mūs (“mouse”). Other hypotheses include: * From a Proto-Indo-European compound *múh₂s-dʰers-leh₂ (“mouse-grabber”). * Cognate with Proto-Slavic *mystlь, *mystlъ (“flying squirrel”) and Ossetian мыстулӕг (mystulæg, “weasel”), said to be inherited from Proto-Indo-European; far more likely, though, this would represent a Wanderwort of which the source is either Latin or Scythian. The relationship (if any) between these words remains uncertain.
