Where this word comes from
From goodwill (“goodwill”) + gest (“gesture”), literally “goodwill gesture”. The first element, goodwill, is borrowed from English goodwill, an old compound continued from Middle English good wille (“goodwill”). The second, gest, is from French geste (“gesture”), from Latin gestus (“movement, gesture”), derived from gero (“to carry, perform”). Compare the parallel formations Swedish goodwillgest, Danish goodwillgestus and German Goodwill-Geste (“goodwill gesture”).
