英 [geɪz] 美 [ɡez]

視線。

古ノルド語のga、視線から。

gaze: gaze: [14] Gaze is probably of Scandinavian origin, although its precise antecedents have never been pinned down. Swedish has a dialect verb gasa ‘gape, stare’, which may be related, and it could be connected in some way with Old Norse gá ‘heed’, source of a Middle English verb gaw ‘gape, stare’, which may lie behind modern English gawk [18].

These suggestions fit semantically, for the earliest use of gaze in English was in the sense ‘gawp, stare’; only gradually was this over-taken by the politer ‘look intently’. Gazebo [18] probably originated as a ‘humorous’ quasi-Latin coinage based on gaze, using the Latin first person singular future suffix -ēbō, as if gazebo meant ‘I shall gaze’.

gaze (n.): 1540s, "thing stared at;" 1560s as "long look," from gaze (v.). Gaze-hound (1560s) was an old name for a dog that follows prey by sight, not scent.
