Ferret's kin (6)

I believe the answer is:

weasel

(Other definitions for weasel that I've seen before include "Carnivore (with evasive words)" , "Carnivorous mammal; treacherous person" , "Mammal related to stoat" , "Equivocate - small animal" , "Cowardly carnivore" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
