Etymology

According to Ó Maolalaigh, from delenition of early modern (originally copular) gidh, giodh before dentals (< eg. giodh do-bheir ‘though he gives’) or from early modern gé do before compound verbs in do- (gé do-ní ‘though he does’) or in the past tense and conditional mood (eg. gé do chumadar ‘although they made’, gé do bheannaigh ‘though he blessed’, ge d’fhosgail ‘though he opened’).[1] MacBain explains it as a contraction of ge +‎ ta.[2] Ultimately from Old Irish cía (though) or cid (though … is).
