Etymology
غِشّ is a masdar, a verbal noun, built from the geminate (doubled) Semitic root غ-ش-ش. The verb غَشَّ means to deceive, cheat, or mix something impure into something pure, and the noun kept that core sense of hidden adulteration. Because Arabic root system belongs to the Semitic family rather than Indo-European, no Proto-Indo-European ancestor applies here.
