Gibleh

/ɡɪˈbleɪ/ noun

Definition

An alternate spelling or variant form of giblet or related to game animals in some contexts.

Etymology

This appears to be a rare or dialectal variant, possibly from French influences. The exact etymology is uncertain, and this form is largely obsolete in modern English.

Kelly Says

This is one of those wonderfully obscure words that survives in only a few historical texts—the kind of variant spelling that shows how fluid language used to be before dictionaries standardized everything!
