词汇 gad
词源

gad [LME] Gad as in gad about was probably formed from obsolete gadling which first meant ‘companion’ but later had the meaning ‘wanderer, vagabond’. The origin is Germanic. There seems to have been some influence on usage from obsolete gad meaning ‘rush about like an animal stung by gad-flies’ and from another obsolete gad ‘to goad oxen’, but the exact way all these fit together is obscure.
