  1. castor sac

    plural-normally
Where this word comes from

Probably Proto-Finnic *ha(a)v- + -us (< *ha(a)vus), related to Karelian hoavo (“sack, bag”), Ludian havado (“sack”) and Veps havad (“sack”) (< *havado), tentatively from Proto-Finnic *haava-. In this case, the word must have originally meant "sack, bag" too, before its shift to refer to the sack as in the genitalia, and specifically to the castor sac. Note that the dialectal variants of this word include havus.
