Where this word comes from
Probably contracted from *gāvideō, itself built from an otherwise unattested adjective *gāvidus according to the model of other terms such as ārdeō and āridus. The adjective *gāvidus may derive from Proto-Italic *gāwiðos, itself possibly from *geh₂widʰh₁-os. It is likely from the root *geh₂w- (“to rejoice”). The second long vowel in the participle gāvīsus may have formed according to the model of participles such as vīsus. Cognate with Gāius, Ancient Greek γαίω (gaíō), γάνῡμαι (gánūmai), γαῦρος (gaûros), γάνος (gános), Middle Irish guaire (“noble”).
