Etymology
The word 'gaze' originates from the Old English term 'gรฆisian', which means to gaze or look attentively. Its roots can be traced back further to the Proto-Germanic 'gaisลnฤ ', which conveys similar meanings related to focused observation. The modern form has evolved over centuries, with the current spelling and pronunciation taking shape in Middle English as 'gฤsen'. As the English language developed, 'gaze' became distinct from other forms of looking, emphasizing a prolonged and thoughtful engagement with what is being observed. The usage of the word became more prevalent in literary contexts, often associated with emotions and aesthetic appreciation.
