/ˈɡɪmər/, Scottish English

/ˈɡɪmər/

Forms: Middle English gymbyre, gymbure, gymmer, 1500s gymmar, gylmyr, gimer, 1500s– gimmer.

Origin: A borrowing from early Scandinavian. Etymon: Norse gymbr.

Etymology: < Old Norse gymbr a ewe lamb one year old (modern Icelandic gimbur, Danish gimmer-lam); compare gymbell he-lamb. Ulterior connections unknown; the vowel of the Old Norse word seems to forbid the supposition of some etymologists, that it contains some form of the Indogermanic word *gheim- (ghjem-, ghim- etc.) winter, and is thus cognate with Greek χίμαρος (masculine), χίμαιρα (feminine), goat one year old.

Scottish and northern dialect.

1. A ewe between the first and second shearing. gelt gimmer, a barren ewe.
