Etymology

From Middle Breton gouzvout, from Old Breton gudbut, guzbut; from a Proto-Breton form *gwezboud (cf. Welsh gwybod), originally a compound of bezañ (to be) (older infinitive form boud or bout) with gouz, an adjective derived from Proto-Celtic *wid-, from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (to know). Cognate with Cornish godhvos and Welsh gwybod.

Verb

gouzout

  1. (transitive) to know

Usage notes

  • Just like ober which has an irregular mutation (gra- becomes ra- instead of expected c'hra- due to an earlier gwra- initial consonant), gouzout has an irregular mutation ouz- instead of expected c'houz- due to an earlier gw- initial consonant in Proto-Breton *gwezboud (cf. modern Welsh gwybod), as this verb is initially a compound of bout (bezañ) + an adjective *gwid (see etymology above).
