語源
英語の原文（Wiktionary）
From Middle English glotoun, from Old French gloton, gluton, from Latin gluttō, gluttōnis (“glutton”). The use for the wolverine is a semantic loan from German Vielfraß, itself a folk etymology for Old Norse *fjallfress (literally “mountain cat”). The popular belief that the wolverine is particularly voracious only developed because of this name. See the German for more.
