Etymology: < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic gildra , gildri , Norwegian gilder , (Nynorsk) gildra , (Bokmål) gildre , Old Swedish gildra , gilder , gildre (Swedish giller ), Old Danish gildri (Danish †gilder ) trap, snare), probably < the same Scandinavian base (with an instrumental suffix) as Old Icelandic gilja to beguile (a woman); further etymology uncertain: perhaps < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek θέλειν (also ἐθέλειν ) to wish, will (see Monothelite n.) and Old Church Slavonic želěti to wish, want.In β. forms showing alteration after -ard suffix. Compare the earlier place names Gylderstainflatt, Cumberland (1227; now lost), Gilderdale, Cumberland (1279; now Gilderdale Forest), which probably reflect currency of the early Scandinavian word in England.
