"gormur" meaning in Icelandic

See gormur in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kɔrmʏr/
Rhymes: -ɔrmʏr Etymology: Attested since the 17th century. From an unattested Old Norse *gormr, whence also Norwegian Nynorsk gorm, gurm (“mud, sludge”) and dialectal or obsolete Swedish gorm (“filth; fish guts; fruit solids left over after pressing the juice out”), from a Proto-Germanic *gurmaz. Related to ger and gor. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰer- (“hot”). The meaning “coil, spring” developed from the resemblance of metal coils to fish or animal intestines.
