From Proto-Germanic, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ghoilos (“‘frothing, tempestuous, wanton’”). Cognate with Old Saxon gēl (Dutch geil (“‘salacious, lustful’”)), Old High German geil (German geil (“‘lustful’”)), Old Norse geiligr (“‘beautiful’”). The IE root may also be the source of Lithuanian gailùs (“‘sharp, biting’”), Russian зело (“‘very’”).
