What original language did mongoose derive from?

In the sense of "snake-killing ichneumon of India," first record 1698, perhaps via Portugese (Goa), from the Indic (cf. Mahrathi mangus "mongoose"), probably ultimately from Dravidian (cf. Telugu mangisu, Kanarese mungisi, Malayalam mangis). The form of the English word altered by folk-etymology.(n.b. Author's personal experience discovers mongoose husbandry commonly proximate to temples worshipping Naga, Hindu god/snake manifestation in southern India; Kerala and Tamilnadu)
