词源

From Middle English geson, gesene (“rare, scarce”), from Old English gǣsne (“deprived of, wanting, destitute, barren, sterile, dead”), from Proto-West Germanic *gaisnī (“barren, poor”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰeh₂- (“to be gaping, yawn”). Cognate with Old High German geisini, keisini (“lack”), a noun, and more remotely with North Frisian gast (“barren”), Low German güst (“barren”).
