Etymology

The word 'gander' originates from the Middle English term 'gandere', which itself comes from the Old English 'gandra', related to 'gฤn', 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 behaviorโ€”having a leisurely look aroundโ€”along 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.
