Etymology

Cognate with English: to wage

In summary

From gage or from Old French guagier, itself from guage or from a derivative of Frankish *waddī, *wadja, possibly through a Vulgar Latin intermediate *wadiare from *wadium. Compare English to wage and wager, which came from the same source via an Anglo-Norman/Old Northern French variant. Compare also some regional languages with French cognates, such as the Walloon wadjî (same sense).
