galer

1. present of gale

---

Old French

Etymology 1

From *galle, borrowed from Frankish *galla (“sore; wound; scab”), from Proto-Germanic *gallô (“a sore on the skin; a gall”). Cognate with Old High German galla (“ire; malignancy; wickedness”), Old English gealla (“skin wound”), Old Norse galli (“infirmity; weakness; affliction”).

Verb

galer

1. to rub; to scratch

Etymology 2

Origin obscure. Likely of Germanic origin, perhaps via Vulgar Latin *gualare, *walare, from Frankish *wala (“well”), from Proto-Germanic *wela, from Proto-Indo-European *welh₁-.

Alternatively, possibly derived from Frankish *wallōn (“to surge; well up; bubble over; roll about”), related to Old High German wallōn (“to surge; flow out; hike; wander; travel”), from Proto-Germanic *wallaną.

Possibly influenced by Frankish *gail (“merry; lively; lustful”), from Proto-Germanic *gailaz (“merry, excited, lush, beautiful, lustful”).

Verb

galer

1. (reflexive, se galer) to have fun; to enjoy oneself
