An archaic or dialectal term whose exact meaning is uncertain; possibly a variant of another word or a regional dialect term.
The etymology is unclear; it may be a variant spelling or dialectal form of another English word, but historical documentation is insufficient to determine its origin.
Words like 'gozell' are orphans in the English language—they appear once or twice in old texts and then vanish, making linguists forever curious about what they meant and why nobody kept using them.
