In summary

From gauchir (“to bend, dodge, warp”), a conflation of Old French gauchier (“to tread”) (from Frankish *walkijan, *walkan, cognate with English walk) + Old French guenchir (“to deviate”) (from Frankish *wenkijan (“to sway, falter”)). Gauche replaced the original Latin-derived word for "left", senestre, in the sixteenth century. Compare Walloon gåtche.
