Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English galwes, galewes, plural of galwe, galowe, from Old English galga, gealga, from *galgō, from Proto-Germanic *galgô, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰalgʰ-, *ǵʰalg- (long switch, rod, shaft, pole, perch). The plural construction probably refers to the vertical and horizontal beams.
