Definition hamster

Etymology

Borrowed from German Hamster, from Middle High German hamster, from Old High German hamastra, hamustro (compare Old Saxon hamustra), probably from Old East Slavic ????????? (xom?stor?), ????????? (xom?star?), compound of (1) ?????? (xom?k?, “hamster”) (compare Russian ?????? (xomják), Polish chomik), from Proto-Balto-Slavic *k?mjas (compare Latvian k?mis (“hamster”), Lithuanian kămas (“rat”), and of (2) Baltic *staras (compare Lithuanian stăras (“ground squirrel”). Alternatively, a borrowing into Slavic from Iranian, compare Avestan ?????????-‎ (hama?star-, “who throws down (in this case: corn stalks), oppresses”). Displaced earlier term German rat.
