Etymology
From Old Danish ræf, from Old Norse refr, from Proto-Norse *rebaʀ, cognate with Norwegian Nynorsk rev, Swedish räv. The word is probably borrowed from an Iranian source, compare Digor Ossetian робас (robas, “fox”), Persian روباه (rôbâh), Sanskrit लो॒पा॒श (lopāśá). Latin vulpēs and Ancient Greek ἀλώπηξ (alṓpēx) are probably related somehow, but it may be a wanderword. See: Old Norse Nouns '
refr', Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns '
rev', Swedish Nouns '
räv', Latin Nouns '
vulpēs', Ancient Greek Nouns '
ἀλώπηξ'.
