Etymology of GUDE

The word "gude" has its origins in the Old English language. It ultimately stems from the Old English word "gōd", which meant "good" or "virtuous". Over time, through linguistic changes and phonetic shifts, "gōd" transformed into "gude" in Middle English. This transformation occurred around the 14th century. Eventually, Middle English evolved into Modern English, and "gude" fell out of use, giving way to the standardized form we know today as "good".
