An archaic term for a polecat or ferret, also used to mean a foul-smelling or contemptible person.
From Old French 'foulon' (fuller) or possibly from 'foul' combined with 'mart' (old term for an animal), the etymology is disputed but likely relates to the polecat's notorious smell.
Shakespeare used 'fulimart' as an insult—calling someone a fulimart meant they were as worthless and odorous as a polecat, a brilliant insult that combined animal contempt with literal stench.
