Derived from the noun 'gossip', which originally stemmed from the Old English 'godsibb', meaning a sponsor in baptism or a godparent, later shifting in the 16th century to denote idle talk among friends. The suffix '-y' was added to form the adjective, characterizing someone or something inclined to engage in casual, often conversational rumors about others.
