Origin
The word "girt" comes from the Old English word "gyrd," which meant "to surround" or "to bind." This word is related to the Proto-Germanic word "gurdijaz," which also meant "strap." The ultimate origin of the word is thought to be the Proto-Indo-European root "gwer-," which meant "to turn" or "to wind."
