Etymology (EN): From M.E. gossib, godsib “a close friend or relation, a confidant,” from
O.E. godsibb, “godfather, godmother,” literally “a person related to one in God,” from god “→ God” + sibb “a relative,” → sibling. In M.E. the sense was “a close friend with whom one gossips,” hence “a person who gossips,” later “idle talk.”

Etymology (PE): Gotré, from Shirâzi gotré “idle talk, nonesence,” cf. (Qatrân, Damâvand) gotâré “loquacious,” related to goftan “to say, tell,” → promise.
