The phrase "gat into" does not have a specific etymology on its own. However, let's break down the two separate parts:
1. "Gat": "Gat" is the past tense of the verb "get", which means to acquire, obtain, or gain entrance. It originated from the Old Norse word "geta" and has roots in Old English and Germanic languages.
2. "Into": "Into" is a preposition that indicates movement or direction towards the inside or interior of something. It comes from the Old English word "intō", which is derived from the combination of "in" (in, within) and "to" (to, toward).
So, "gat into" simply means to get or acquire entrance or to move towards the interior of something.
