Where does geg come from?
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”).
