Etymology
Inherited from Middle French guise, from Old French guisse, guise, vise (“guise, manner, way”), from Old Frankish *wīsa (“manner, way, fashion”), from Proto-Germanic *wīsǭ (“manner, way”), from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to see, view, behold, perceive”). Cognate with Old High German wīsa (“way, manner”), Old English wīse (“wise, way, fashion, custom, habit, manner”). More at wise. See: Old English Nouns '
wīse'.
