Origin:
The word "gist" originally referred to a place where someone lay down or rested. Over time, it came to be used more figuratively to describe the resting place or foundation of an idea or argument. The connection between the physical act of lying down and the metaphorical concept of a foundation may be due to the idea that the main point of an argument is the basis or support for the rest of the argument.
The earliest recorded use of "gist" in the sense of "main point" dates back to the 14th century. By the 18th century, the word had become a common legal term, and it is still used in this context today.
