Nguồn gốc từ

From a conflation of gastly, from Middle English gastly, from gasten (from Old English gǣstan (to torment, frighten)) + -ly, and ghostly (which was also spelt gastlich in Middle English). Equivalent to ghast/gast + -ly. Spelling with gh developed in the 16th century due to the conflation.
