Etymology: < game v. + -ing suffix1.Some forms, especially in Older Scots, may instead reflect reanalysis of α. forms at game n. ending in -in , -yn , -yne . The following example may show an early β. form (compare discussion at game n.) in sense ‘mockery, derision’ (compare sense 1a); however, the form is usually taken to be a scribal error (showing minim confusion) for gānung (see ganing n. at gane v.
