editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editFrom Middle High German or Middle Low German gīren (“to open one’s jaws, gape, scream”), from Proto-Germanic *gīran- and ultimately imitative.
Cognate with Dutch gieren (“to scream”). Related also with German Geier (“vulture”) and gähnen, English yawn. In standard German, the word has always been associated with unrelated Gier (“greed, lust”) and is typically regarded a derivative thereof. Also compare English jeer, which could be a borrowing.

Etymology 2
editFrom Dutch gieren, which is possibly the same word as that mentioned under etymology 1, with a semantic development “to scream, squeak” → “to make a repeated squeaking movement”. Alternatively from Dutch geren, also gieren (“to be askew”), from geer (“asymmetric piece of land”).
