Nguồn gốc từ

thumb|(trench) Gully Origin. Possibly from a variant of Middle English golet (esophagus, gullet), from Old French goulet, from Latin gula (throat). Shift in meaning in Middle English to "water channel, ravine" may have been influenced by gylle, gille, galle (deep narrow valley, ravine); see gill. Compare geul.
