英和和英

語源 1

Origin uncertain. Possibly from a variant of 中期英語 golet (“esophagus, gullet”), from Old French goulet, from Latin gula (“throat”). Shift in meaning in 中期英語 to "water channel, ravine" may have been influenced by 中期英語 gylle, gille, galle (“deep narrow valley, ravine”); see gill. Compare Dutch geul.

Alternatively, from a diminutive of dialectal gull (“fissue, chasm”) +‎ -y (diminutive suffix). See gull, gullick.
