▪ II. gule, n.2|gjuːl|
[a. OF. gule, goule, med.L. gula Augusti.
The ulterior etymology is unknown. The Welsh form is gwyl Awst (gwyl festival, believed to be a. L. vigilia vigil), but as the med.L. and OF. terms were in continental use, this must be a mere popular etymology. The conjecture that gula is a corruption of ‘Dies Sancti Petri ad vincula’ is very unlikely, nor is it clear how it can be identified with the Lat. gula ‘throat’.]
