Forms:

β. 1800s gourdal, 1900s gourdel.

Origin: A borrowing from Irish. Etymon: Irish guairdeall.
Etymology: Apparently < Irish guairdeall, †guardal stormy petrel, specific use of guairdeall circling movement, perhaps a variant or alteration (with dissimilation of the internal consonant cluster) of guairneáil action of whirling or spinning (Early Irish cuairtfell < cuairt (noun) circle, (adverb) round, about (further etymology uncertain) + -fell, suffix forming nouns).The α. forms probably reflect either an Irish variant (variation between r and l is possible in this position), or an alteration within English after -er suffix1.
? Anglo-Irish. Obsolete.
Identified by Pennant with the Stormy Petrel.
