🌳Etymology
Origin
From Middle English 'gossamer,' possibly derived from 'goose summer' (an old term for Indian summer when spiders' webs are most visible), or from Old English elements related to 'goose' and 'summer.' The word may also have roots in medieval references to the season when spider silk was most abundant.
