Etymologie (Englisch)

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese gastar, from Latin vastāre, with the initial consonant influenced by the descendants of Frankish *wōstī (“waste”) (expected /ɡw/ reduced to /w/ in unstressed initial position). Cognate of Spanish gastar, Italian guastare (“to spoil”). Doublet of vastar.
