The divine origin of the word Gossip

In a captivating narrative of language, the word "gossip" emerges from the shadows of its Old English predecessor, "Godsibb." Linguistic that intertwines the sacred and the social, "Godsibb" or “Gods Sibling” marries the divine and familial, originally denoting godparents or those considered kin (or chosen family) in medieval times. This linguistic journey, marked by the patriarchy, is a poignant reflection of societal shifts that have often marginalized and belittled the female experience.
