Etymology

Probably from Old Occitan guidar, from Frankish *wītan (“to show the way, lead”), from Proto-Germanic *wītaną (“to see, know; go, depart”), possibly through a Medieval Latin intermediate. Compare Portuguese guiar, French guider (Old French guier), Old Occitan guidar, Italian guidare, English guide.
