From Proto-Permic , borrowed from an Indo-Iranian language, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wŕ̥kas (“wolf”). Compare Sanskrit वृक (vṛka) and Avestan 𐬬𐬆𐬵𐬭𐬐𐬁𐬥𐬀 (vəhrkāna). The borrowing is supported by dialectal forms like вӧркась (vörkaś), appearing in territories where the dialectal кась (kaś, “cat”) isn't used.
The term has been adjusted and reanalysed as вӧр (vör, “forest”) + кань (kań, “cat”), and isn't recognised as a borrowing by speakers.
