Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro itc-pro From Middle English gaunt, gawnt, gawnte, gant (lean, slender, thin, gaunt); further etymology uncertain. Speculated origins include: * from a -/Scandinavian source related to Old Norse gandr (magic staff; stick) (the ancestor of gandur and gand), from Proto-Germanic *gandaz (stick; staff). Other suggested Germanic cognates include gank; gand, gan, gana; Gunten.
