Etymology

Possibly borrowed from Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌽𐌰𐌽 (*ganan, “to covet”), perhaps from Proto-Germanic *ganēną, *ginōną (“to gape”) (compare Old Norse gana (“to gape, stare longingly, crave”)), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂-néh₂-ti, from *ǵʰeh₂- (“to yawn”) +‎ *-néh₂ti.^[1]

Meaning influenced by Vulgar Latin *wadaniāre (“to pursue; graze”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *waiþanjaną.^[2]^[3]

Documented from at least 973.^[4]
Documented from at least 870 Donatio ecclesiae de Sozello, 870, doc. VII in Portugaliae monumenta historica, vol. I, p. 5
