gargoylen.

Brit.

/ˈɡɑːɡɔɪl/, U.S.

/ˈɡɑrˌɡɔɪl/

Forms: Middle English gargulye, gargulle, gargoill, gargoyl, gargayle, plural gargouys, Middle English–1500s gargyle, 1500s gargylle, gargille, gargell(e, gargle, ( gargyne), 1500s–1600s gargel, gargil, 1600s gargile, Middle English, 1800s gargoyle, 1800s gorgoil, gurgoyl(e, ( gurgayle).

Etymology: < Old French gargouille (also gargoule , gargole , recorded in 13th cent.) = Spanish gargola ; apparently a special sense of gargouille throat (compare gargil n.¹, gargle v.), from the water passing through the mouths of the figures. The form gurgoyle is perhaps due to the influence of medieval Latin gurgulio.

a. A grotesque spout, representing some animal or human figure, projecting from the gutter of a building (esp. in Gothic architecture), in order to carry the rainwater clear of the walls.
