Etymology
1. O.E.
gadrian, gædrian "to gather, collect, store up," related to
gæd "fellowship," and
god "good," from P.Gmc.
*gadurojan "bring together, unite" (cf. M.L.G.
gadderen, O.Fris.
gaderia). Change of spelling from
-d- to
-th- is 1500s, reflecting earlier change in pronunciation.
2. From Middle English gaderen, from Old English gaderian (“to gather, assemble”), from Proto-West Germanic *gadurōn (“to bring together, unite, gather”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰedʰ- (“to unite, assemble, keep”). See: Middle English '
gaderen', Old English '
gaderian'.
