Definition
A Scottish dialectal or archaic term of unclear meaning, possibly related to foolishness or a type of insult.
Etymology
Scottish dialect word of obscure origin, possibly related to 'gowk' (fool) or dialectal variants like 'gowdie'. The exact meaning is largely lost.
Kelly Says
Words like 'gowiddie' are fossils in dictionaries—they appear in one 19th-century text, get recorded, and then vanish from actual use, preserved like flies in amber.
