Word origin

The word 'gyve' originates from Middle English, where it was used to describe the act of binding or restraining. It can be traced further back to Old English 'giefan', which means to give or to yield, and is related to concepts of submission or constraint. Historically, gyves were physical restraints used on prisoners, hence the term's adoption in legal contexts. Over time, the meaning of gyve expanded metaphorically to refer to any form of constraint or limitation placed upon an individual, beyond just the physical bindings. While the word is not commonly used in modern vernacular, it remains a significant term in historical legal texts and discussions.
