Etymology
From gage or from Old French guagier, itself from guage or from a derivative of Frankish *waddi, *wadja, possibly through a Vulgar Latin intermediate *wadiare from *wadium. Compare English to wage and wager, which came from the same source via an Anglo-Norman/Old Northern French variant.

Conjugation
This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written gage- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a “soft” /?/ and not a “hard” /?/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
