Origin unknown. Probably from Middle English *geigen, from Old Norse geiga (“to deviate to the side, go the wrong way, rove at random”), from Proto-Germanic *gaigijaną (“to deviate, totter, transgress”), causative of *gīganą (“to move”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰeyǵʰ-, *gʰeygʰ- (“to gape, protrude”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰēy(w)-, *ǵʰyāw- (“to yawn, gape”); related to Old English *gǣġan (“to go, walk, pass by”), as in forgǣġan (“to transgress, trespass, prevaricate, pass by, neglect, omit”), ofergǣġan (“to transgress”). Cognate also with Old Frisian gēia (“to overstep, exceed”), Norwegian dialectal geige (“to sway back and forth”), Middle High German gīgen (“to play the violin”), Old English gǣnan (“to gape”).
