Etymology
1. 12c.,
gosshien "make noises in the stomach," later (c.1400) "rush out suddenly, pour out," probably formed onomatopoeically in Eng. under infl. of O.N.
gusa "to gush, spurt," related to
geyser. Metaphoric sense of "speak in an effusive manner" first recorded 1873.
Gusher "oil well that flows without pumping" is from 1886.
2. From Middle English guschen, gusshen, gosshien, perhaps from Middle Dutch guysen (“to flow out with a gurgling sound, gush”) or Old Norse gusa (“to gush”), ultimately imitative.
3. Compare Old Norse geysa (“to gush”), German gießen (“to pour”), Old English ġēotan ("to pour"; > English yote). Related to gust. See: German, old spelling '
gießen', English '
yote'.
