Etymology
Cognate with Shetland Scots godek (“riddle”) and Orcadian Scots gaadie (“play with shadows”), with all these terms thought to be from a Germanic root related to Proto-Germanic *getaną (“to find a way, attain”). Compare, in particular, Proto-Slavic *gādàti (“to guess”) and derivatives such as Polish zagadka (“riddle”), which may derive from the same root. See: Polish Nouns '
zagadka'.
