Where this word comes from
Origin unknown. Attested from the mid-nineteenth century. Perhaps derived from Middle English gore, gor, gorre (“mud, muck”), from Old English gor (“manure, dung, filth, muck, dirt”), from Proto-West Germanic *gor, from Proto-Germanic *gurą (“half-digested stomach contents; faeces; manure”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰer- (“hot; warm”). Compare Saterland Frisian Gorre (“muddy liquid; thick, liquid manure”), Old Norse gorr, gor (“intestines, (half-digested) intestinal contents, filth, dung; peat, silt-esc earth”).
