Etymology

Borrowed from Middle Low German g?be, Proto-Germanic *g?b? (“gift, giving”), cognate with German Gabe. Late Old Norse gáfa and Swedish gåva are probably also from Low German. It has replaced a similar word with a different shape: Danish gæv (“feed”), from Old Norse gj?f (“gift”), from Proto-Germanic *geb?, cognate with Gothic ???????????????? (giba). Both words are derived from the verb *geban? (“to give”).
