gangern.¹

Brit.

/ˈɡaŋə/, U.S.

/ˈɡæŋər/, Scottish English

/ˈɡaŋər/

Forms: see gang v.¹ and -er suffix¹.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: gang v.¹, -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < gang v.¹ + -er suffix¹. Compare Dutch ganger, German gänger, Old Icelandic gangari, Old Swedish gangare (Swedish gångere), Old Danish gonger (Danish ganger).The existence of Old English *gangere is claimed by Somner (see quot. below), but the word has not been traced to any surviving Old English source, and its appearance in Somner's dictionary perhaps ultimately rests on a misinterpretation of (rare) Old English ganghere infantry ( < gang n. + here n.¹):1659 W. Somner Dict. Saxonico-Latino-Anglicum sig. P2^v/3 Gangere, Pedester, a footman. With the name of Rolf the Ganger (see note at sense 1) compare Danish Rolf Ganger (also Gangerrolf ) (early 19th cent. or earlier), a rendering of Old Icelandic Gǫngu-Hrólfr (in which gǫngu is the genitive of ganga walking, course: see gang n.). Uses of Old Icelandic gangari , Old Swedish gangare (Swedish gångere ), Old Danish gonger (Danish ganger ) in the specific sense ‘steed, palfrey’ (common in medieval Scandinavian romances and ballads) were probably suggested by post-classical Latin gradarius (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources in this sense; compare classical Latin equus gradārius walking horse) or ambulator (from 9th cent. in this sense; compare ambulator n.), and are thus different in origin and meaning from sense 2.

Chiefly Scottish and English regional (northern) except in historical use.

1. A person who goes or travels on foot; a traveller. Rolf the Ganger: (an epithet for) a Norseman traditionally identified with Rollo (c846–931), founder and first ruler (as Robert I) of the Viking principality in what became known as Normandy, who was said to be too heavy to ride a horse.
