Etymology

From gargozza, or gargozzo, itself from an onomatopoeic root garg- or from Vulgar Latin *gurgutia or *gargutium. Another etymology proposed is *guttium, variant of Latin guttur (“throat”), confused with guttus (“jug”). Alternatively, possibly from a derivative Vulgar Latin *gusia (compare French gosier, Friulian gose, Romanian guşă), from Late Latin geusiae, from Gaulish *geusi (“to pour”); compare Welsh gewai (“glutton”).
