gather: [OE] Gather goes back ultimately to Germanic *gath- ‘bring together, unite’ (which also produced English good). From it was derived *gadurī (source of English together), which in turn formed the basis of a verb *gadurōjan. Its offspring include Middle High German gaten ‘come together’, Old Frisian gadia ‘unite’, and Old English gaderian, whence modern English gather. It also produced German gatte ‘husband, spouse’, originally ‘companion’.
=> good, together - gather (v.)
- Old English gadrian, gædrian "unite, agree, assemble; gather, collect, store up" (transitive and intransitive), used of flowers, thoughts, persons; from Proto-Germanic *gaduron "come or bring together, unite" (cognates: Old English gæd "fellowship, companionship," gædeling "companion;" Middle Low German gadderen; Old Frisian gaderia; Dutch gaderen "to gather," gade "spouse;" German Gatte "husband;" Gothic gadiliggs), from PIE *ghedh- "to unite, join" (see good (adj.)). Change of spelling from -d- to -th- is 1500s, reflecting earlier change in pronunciation (as in mother, weather, father). Related: Gathered; gathering.
- gather (n.)
- "plait or fold in cloth," 1660s, from gather (v.).
