Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Iranian *giHtás, Proto-Indo-European *g⁽ʷ⁾iH-tós, from *g⁽ʷ⁾eH (“to sing, cry”). The Sanskrit root is गै (gai).[1]
Cognate with Avestan 𐬔𐬁𐬚𐬁 (gāθā, “form of strophe, metre, namely the collections of Zarathustra's songs, the Gathas”).
By surface analysis, गै (gai) + -त (-ta).
