Common Misspellings for GATECRASH
Etymology of GATECRASH
The word "gatecrash" is a compound of two words, "gate" and "crash".
The term "gate" is derived from the Old English word "geat", which means "opening" or "entrance". It is related to the Old Norse word "gat", meaning a passage or hole. Over time, "gate" developed into the term we know today, referring to a barrier or structure that allows only authorized people to enter or exit.
The word "crash" originally meant a violent collision or impact, typically used to describe the sound that objects make when they collide. It is derived from the Middle English word "craschen", which means to break or smash.
Combining these two words, "gatecrash" emerged as a term in the early 20th century to describe the act of forcibly or uninvitedly entering through a gate or entrance, without prior authorization or permission.
