Etymology
The word 'gander' originates from the Middle English term 'gandere', which itself comes from the Old English 'gandra', related to 'gฤn', meaning 'to go'. The word has long been associated with male geese (or ganders) and has been used in various idiomatic expressions over the years. The transformation into 'gandered' as a verb likely arose from the playful association of the bird's behaviorโhaving a leisurely look aroundโalong with the informal nature of the English language, where verbs are often created from nouns. Over time, 'gandered' has come to be widely used in informal contexts to imply a brief or cursory look at something.
