Etymology
From Germanic, perhaps from Indo-European *ghoilos �frothing, tempestuous, wanton�. Cognate with Old Saxon gel|g�l (Dutch geil �salacious, lustful�), Old High German geil (German geil �lustful�), Old Norse geiligr �beautiful�. The IE root may also be the source of Lithuanian gailus|gailùs �sharp, biting�, Russian зело �very�.
