meerkat
English
Etymology
From Afrikaans meerkat, transferred use of Dutch meerkat (“guenon [monkey]”), from Middle Dutch meercatte (literally “sea cat”), compare English mercat. Sometimes suggested to be influenced by or derived from an Indian source; compare Hindi ????? (marka?, “ape, monkey”) and Sanskrit ????? (marka?a). Note however Old High German merikazza, so any influence from Indo-Aryan would have to be exceptionally early.
