Brit.

/ˈɡoʊld ˌwɑʃ/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps originally modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: gold n.¹, wash n.

Etymology: < gold n.¹ + wash n., perhaps originally after German Goldwäsche place where gold washing takes place (late 18th cent. in this sense; early 18th cent. in sense ‘act of washing gold’). Compare earlier gold washer n., gold washing n.

Now rare.

A place where gold washing takes place; = gold washing n. 2. In later use also: soil from which gold may be extracted by this method (cf. wash n. 13b).
