Etymology: Probably either < Italian galante fine, splendid (see gallant adj.) + show n.¹, or < gallant adj. + show n.¹, with the form of the first element representing a non-native speaker's pronunciation of English. Compare raree-show n. and see etymological note at that entry. N.E.D. (1898) notes that ‘where the word is really colloquially current the stress seems to be always gala·nty ’, but that quot. 1821 ‘has ga·llantee, which appears in some recent Dicts.’.

Now historical.
