An alternative or archaic form referring to a type of game or gaming activity, or a person engaged in gaming.
Possibly from French 'gamelot' or a variant of 'gamelan' terminology, though the exact origin is uncertain and the word is extremely rare.
This word is so obscure that it barely exists in historical records—it might be a Middle English term that simply lost the evolutionary battle as English consolidated its vocabulary over centuries.
