Gaul

Definition

A native or inhabitant of the historical region of Gaul, or poetically the modern nation of France.

Etymology

From Middle English Gall, from Latin Gallus. The change in spelling is due to the influence of the place-name Gaul, which is thought to be etymologically unrelated (see above).

Example Sentences

• "[…] Gauls used the suffix -acus, Etruscans -nas or -na, Umbrians -enus, -ienus."
