Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro The noun is derived from Old French gist, a noun use of the third person singular indicative of gesir (to lie down) (modern gésir; compare), from Latin iacēre, the present active infinitive of iaceō (to lie down, lie prostrate, recline), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh₁- (to throw) (probably in the sense of something being thrown down).
