Gyse

/daɪs/ verb

Definition

A Scottish and Northern English dialect word meaning to pour out or empty liquid, especially liquid in continuous streams.

Etymology

Possibly from Old Norse 'geysa' (to gush/rush). The word appears primarily in Northern English and Scottish vernacular, related to gushing water.

Kelly Says

In Scottish dialect, you'd gyse water from a bucket the same way a waterfall gyses over a cliff—it's all about that tumbling, rushing motion!
