gaudyadj.1

Forms: Also Middle English gaude, Middle English gawdy, 1500s gawdie.
Etymology: apparently < Old French gaude weld + -y suffix1; the form gaude may be the Old French word adopted and used attributively.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈgaudy.
Obsolete exc. archaic.
Only in gaudy-green n. green dyed with weld, yellowish green.In the first quot. gaudi of grene may be a mistake for gaudi grene, or the word may be a noun evolved from the combination.

gaudyadj.2

Brit. /ˈɡɔːdi/, U.S. /ˈɡɔdi/, /ˈɡɑdi/
Forms: 1500s gaudie, gaudye, 1600s–1700s gawdy, 1600s gawdie, 1500s– gaudy.
Etymology: Of somewhat uncertain formation. Sense 1 looks like an attributive use of gaudy n. 4; compare quot. 1540 at sense 1 there. In senses 2, 3 the word may have been apprehended as if < gaud n.2 + -y suffix1.
