gaitern.2

Forms: Old English gáte tréow, Middle English gaitrys, gattris, gaytre, 1500s gadrise, gaten(-tree), gater, (1700s garter), 1500s–1800s gatten, 1600s–1800s gatt(e)ridge, gatter, gaiter.
Etymology: The Old English gáte tréow = goat's tree; but apparently this has mixed with a synonym of which the Old English form, if it existed, would be *gáte hrís (hrís , rise n., bush). The forms are partly northern, with // for Old English á, and partly exhibit the vowel-shortening common in the first element of compounds.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈgaiter.
Obsolete exc. dialect.
A name properly belonging to the Dogwood ( Cornus sanguinea), but in various districts applied to other similar shrubs, as the Spindle-tree ( Euonymus europæus). Also attributive in gaiter-berry, gaiter-bush, gaiter-tree.
