The word "gestour" is derived from the Middle English term "gestur" which, in turn, is derived from the Old Norse word "gestr". The Old Norse term "gestr" originally meant "guest", referring to someone who visits or is received in one's house or land. Over time, "gestr" came to be used specifically for a traveling entertainer or storyteller who would visit different places and entertain the locals with tales and performances. The term eventually made its way into Middle English as "gestur" with a similar meaning. The word "gestur" later evolved into "gestour" in Middle English, specifically referring to a professional minstrel or storyteller.
