The word "goose" has a rich history! It originated from the Old English word "gōs", which was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*gansiz", meaning "goose-like". This is believed to be closely related to the Proto-Indo-European root "*ghe(w)-", which meant "to swell" or "to inflate", possibly referring to the goose's appearance or the sound of its honking. In Middle English (circa 1100-1500), the word "goose" evolved to "gos" or "gosse", and by the 15th century, it had taken its modern form. Today, "goose" refers to a large waterfowl, as well as the verb "to goose", meaning to playfully jab or tickle someone, often with the beak or fingers! Isn't it amazing how words evolve over time?
