Of uncertain origins. Cognate with norwegian gjø/gøyr (see etymology 3), norn gjoger (Unst: jøger) and scots yoger. Kroonen (2013, 185) reconstructs a Proto-Germanic root *gōja/ō- (n./f.) “tendinitis crepitans,” and connects it to Ancient Greek χωλός (khōlós, “lame, paralyzed (especially of a foot)”), and suggests a source form Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰoH-.

Possibly from old norse verb gæða (restoration), from góðr, from proto-germanic*gōdaz from Proto-Indo-European *gʰedʰ-. However, Sophus Bugge suggested in 1888 a possible connection to the greek χιών (Khion), referring to the melting of snow.^[1] Both suggesting a connection to spring. Kroonen (2013, 184) suggests descent from a Proto-Germanic form *gōīn- “late winter”, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰéyōm.
