Etymology
Came into English via Middle English gounde, gownde, from Old English gund ("matter, pus, poison"), from Proto-West Germanic *gund, from Proto-Germanic *gundaz ("sore, boil"), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰendʰ- ("ulcer, sore, abscess, boil"). It is cognate with Old High German gunt ("purulent matter") and dialectal Norwegian gund ("the scab of an ulcer").
