Where this word comes from

From Old Danish gaa (past tense geck, plural gingæ). The paradigm combines two different Proto-Germanic verbs: *gāną and *ganganą. Classical Old Norse has only the latter, but West Germanic also combines them in one paradigm, cf. German gehen (past tense ging, past participle gegangen).
