In summary

Uncertain. Suggested derivations include:
* Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌹𐍄𐍃 (gaits, “goat”), from Proto-Germanic *gaits, with semantic shift due to bagpipes being made of goat skin;
* Ottoman Turkish (Turkish gayda), from Bulgarian гайда (gajda), possibly via Arabic غَيْطَة (ḡayṭa);
* Old Galician-Portuguese guaita, from Proto-Germanic *wahta;
* from the same root as Spanish gayo;
* Hausa algaita, via a Berber language;
* Suevic.
