Where does “gat” come from?
I notice there's a problem with this request. The chain provided traces "guitar" back through Spanish and Greek, but the headword is "gat" with unknown meaning. These don't match—I cannot accurately connect gat to this etymology chain.
Could you clarify: Is the headword "guitar," or is there a different etymology chain for "gat"?
