Etymology: Origin obscure. Likely from Middle Dutch gijgen (“to pant, wheeze, giggle”) + -elen. Compare German Low German giechelen (“to giggle”), dialectal German giggln, gigglen (“to giggle”), Middle High German gickelen (“to ridicule, mock”), Old High German kichezzen (“to laugh”), German gicksen (“to shriek, shrill”).
