to gig (out)

Etymology: < gig n.¹ (sense 1).The verb seems literally to denote the action of some kind of ‘gig’ or whipping-top of peculiar construction, having inside it a smaller ‘gig’ of the same shape, which was thrown out by the effect of rapid rotation. Hence to gig (out) appears to be used figuratively with the sense ‘to throw out or give rise to (a smaller repetition of itself)’. The dictionaries, on the ground of the Dryden quot., have plausibly, but erroneously, explained the transitive vb. as meaning ‘to engender,’ assigning to it a derivation from Latin gignĕre.
