"etymology_text": "From Middle English gay, from Old French gai (“joyful, laughing, merry”), usually thought to be a borrowing of Old Occitan gai (“impetuous, lively”), from Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌷𐌴𐌹𐍃 (*gaheis, “impetuous”), merging with earlier Old French jai (\"merry\"; see jay), from Frankish *gāhi; both from Proto-Germanic *ganhuz, *ganhwaz (“sudden”). This is possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰengʰ- (“to stride, step”), from *ǵʰēy- (“to go”), but Kroonen rejects this derivation and treats the Germanic word as having no known etymology.\ncognates and sense derivation\nCognate with Dutch gauw (“fast, quickly”), Westphalian Low German gau, gai (“fast, quick”), German jäh (“abrupt, sudden”).\nAnatoly Liberman, following Frank Chance and Harri Meier, believes Old French gai was instead a native development from Latin vagus (“wandering, inconstant, flighty”), with *[w] > [g] as in French gaine.\nThe sense of homosexual (first recorded no later than 1937 by Cary Grant in the film Bringing Up Baby, and possibly earlier in 1922 in the poem \"Miss Furr and Miss Skeene\" by Gertrude Stein) was shortened from earlier gay cat (\"homosexual boy\") in underworld and prison slang, itself first attested about 1935, but used earlier for a young tramp or hobo attached to an older one.\nPejorative usage is probably due to hostility towards homosexuality.\nThe sense of ‘upright’, used in reference to a dog’s tail, probably derives from the ‘happy’ sense of the word.",

Moreover it identified the spider who minced so delicately along the wide-flung strands of the sodomitical web. \"There is not one so degraded as this Captain Collins, the King of the Sodomites.\" He was a foreigner, an Englishman, in the long tradition of blaming homosexuality on the influence of aliens. Among the syndicate of perverts, the writer announced, \"we find no Americans as yet—they are all Englishmen or French\" (the English called homosexuality the French vice and the French the English vice; for the Whip it was the French and English vice).",

"etymology_text": "From Middle English gay, from Old French gai (“joyful, laughing, merry”), usually thought to be a borrowing of Old Occitan gai (“impetuous, lively”), from Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌷𐌴𐌹𐍃 (*gaheis, “impetuous”), merging with earlier Old French jai (\"merry\"; see jay), from Frankish *gāhi; both from Proto-Germanic *ganhuz, *ganhwaz (“sudden”). This is possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰengʰ- (“to stride, step”), from *ǵʰēy- (“to go”), but Kroonen rejects this derivation and treats the Germanic word as having no known etymology.\ncognates and sense derivation\nCognate with Dutch gauw (“fast, quickly”), Westphalian Low German gau, gai (“fast, quick”), German jäh (“abrupt, sudden”).\nAnatoly Liberman, following Frank Chance and Harri Meier, believes Old French gai was instead a native development from Latin vagus (“wandering, inconstant, flighty”), with *[w] > [g] as in French gaine.\nThe sense of homosexual (first recorded no later than 1937 by Cary Grant in the film Bringing Up Baby, and possibly earlier in 1922 in the poem \"Miss Furr and Miss Skeene\" by Gertrude Stein) was shortened from earlier gay cat (\"homosexual boy\") in underworld and prison slang, itself first attested about 1935, but used earlier for a young tramp or hobo attached to an older one.\nPejorative usage is probably due to hostility towards homosexuality.\nThe sense of ‘upright’, used in reference to a dog’s tail, probably derives from the ‘happy’ sense of the word.",

"etymology_text": "From Middle English gay, from Old French gai (“joyful, laughing, merry”), usually thought to be a borrowing of Old Occitan gai (“impetuous, lively”), from Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌷𐌴𐌹𐍃 (*gaheis, “impetuous”), merging with earlier Old French jai (\"merry\"; see jay), from Frankish *gāhi; both from Proto-Germanic *ganhuz, *ganhwaz (“sudden”). This is possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰengʰ- (“to stride, step”), from *ǵʰēy- (“to go”), but Kroonen rejects this derivation and treats the Germanic word as having no known etymology.\ncognates and sense derivation\nCognate with Dutch gauw (“fast, quickly”), Westphalian Low German gau, gai (“fast, quick”), German jäh (“abrupt, sudden”).\nAnatoly Liberman, following Frank Chance and Harri Meier, believes Old French gai was instead a native development from Latin vagus (“wandering, inconstant, flighty”), with *[w] > [g] as in French gaine.\nThe sense of homosexual (first recorded no later than 1937 by Cary Grant in the film Bringing Up Baby, and possibly earlier in 1922 in the poem \"Miss Furr and Miss Skeene\" by Gertrude Stein) was shortened from earlier gay cat (\"homosexual boy\") in underworld and prison slang, itself first attested about 1935, but used earlier for a young tramp or hobo attached to an older one.\nPejorative usage is probably due to hostility towards homosexuality.\nThe sense of ‘upright’, used in reference to a dog’s tail, probably derives from the ‘happy’ sense of the word.",

Moreover it identified the spider who minced so delicately along the wide-flung strands of the sodomitical web. \"There is not one so degraded as this Captain Collins, the King of the Sodomites.\" He was a foreigner, an Englishman, in the long tradition of blaming homosexuality on the influence of aliens. Among the syndicate of perverts, the writer announced, \"we find no Americans as yet—they are all Englishmen or French\" (the English called homosexuality the French vice and the French the English vice; for the Whip it was the French and English vice).",

"etymology_text": "From Middle English gay, from Old French gai (“joyful, laughing, merry”), usually thought to be a borrowing of Old Occitan gai (“impetuous, lively”), from Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌷𐌴𐌹𐍃 (*gaheis, “impetuous”), merging with earlier Old French jai (\"merry\"; see jay), from Frankish *gāhi; both from Proto-Germanic *ganhuz, *ganhwaz (“sudden”). This is possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰengʰ- (“to stride, step”), from *ǵʰēy- (“to go”), but Kroonen rejects this derivation and treats the Germanic word as having no known etymology.\ncognates and sense derivation\nCognate with Dutch gauw (“fast, quickly”), Westphalian Low German gau, gai (“fast, quick”), German jäh (“abrupt, sudden”).\nAnatoly Liberman, following Frank Chance and Harri Meier, believes Old French gai was instead a native development from Latin vagus (“wandering, inconstant, flighty”), with *[w] > [g] as in French gaine.\nThe sense of homosexual (first recorded no later than 1937 by Cary Grant in the film Bringing Up Baby, and possibly earlier in 1922 in the poem \"Miss Furr and Miss Skeene\" by Gertrude Stein) was shortened from earlier gay cat (\"homosexual boy\") in underworld and prison slang, itself first attested about 1935, but used earlier for a young tramp or hobo attached to an older one.\nPejorative usage is probably due to hostility towards homosexuality.\nThe sense of ‘upright’, used in reference to a dog’s tail, probably derives from the ‘happy’ sense of the word.",
