Etymology of GUFFAWINGS

The word "guffawings" does not have a specific etymology, as it is formed using the verbal noun form of "guffaw".

The term "guffaw" itself is believed to have originated in the late 18th century and is thought to be an imitation of the sound of loud, boisterous laughter. It is related to the Middle English word "goggen", which means to laugh loudly.
