Noun

IPA: /ɣeːst/ Audio: Nl-geest.ogg Forms: geesten [plural], geestje [diminutive, neuter]
Rhymes: -eːst Etymology: From Middle Dutch geest, from Old Dutch *gēst, a nominalization of an adjective that meant “dry, infertile”, a derivation of Proto-Germanic *gais- (“infertile”), a root probably meaning "cracking, breaking, gaping;" see *gīnan. See also German gähnen. Cognate to West Frisian gaast, geast (as in the Dutch/Frisian place name Gaasterland) and German Geest (which is borrowed from Low German). Other derivations of *gais- are: Old English gæsne (“infertility, poverty”), Old French gast (“waste”) and Icelandic gisinn (“dry”).
