Etymology of GIRT
The word girt comes from the Old English verb gyrtan, which means to encircle or to gird. The verb originated from the Germanic language and is related to the Old Norse word görð, which also means a girdle or a belt. Over time, gyrtan evolved into various forms, including girt in Middle English and eventually became the past participle form of the verb. In modern English, girt is mainly used as an archaic or poetic past tense form of gird meaning to fasten or secure with a belt or band.
