In summary

From Middle High German giezen, from Old High German giozan, from Proto-West Germanic *geutan (“to pour”). Akin to Dutch gieten, Old Saxon giotan, Old English ġēotan, Old Norse gjóta (whence Danish gyde, Swedish gjuta), Gothic 𐌲𐌹𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 (giutan). Compare English gush. Further Indo-European cognates include Latin fundō (“to pour, to smelt”), Ancient Greek χέω (khéō, “to pour”) and Sanskrit जुहोति (juhóti, “he sacrifices”). More at geysa, yote and found. The sense of pouring metals and glasses is attested since Old High German times through the participle gigozzan (“poured, smelted, made by casting”).
