单词 giglet
释义

gigletgiglotn.

/ˈɡɪɡlᵻt/
Forms: Middle English gigelot(te, (Middle English gegelotte, gegilot, Middle English giggelot), Middle English–1500s gyg(e)lot, 1500s giglott(e, 1500s–1600s gigglet, gigglot, 1500s– giglot, giglet.
Etymology: Of obscure origin; the 14th cent. form gigelot(te seems to point to a French (or Anglo-Norman) etymon, but nothing satisfactory has been found. Compare gig n.1 (sense 4), which is probably in some way connected. The less unfavourable sense ( b) which the word assumed in later use seems due to association with giggle v.1
a. Originally, a lewd, wanton woman (obsolete).
b. A giddy, laughing, romping girl.
