Etymology 1

Origin uncertain. Possibly from a variant of Middle English golet (“esophagus, gullet”), from Old French goulet, from Latin gula (“throat”). Shift in meaning in Middle English to "water channel, ravine" may have been influenced by Middle English gylle, gille, galle (“deep narrow valley, ravine”); see gill.

Alternatively, from a diminutive of dialectal gull (“fissue, chasm”) +‎ -y (diminutive suffix). See gull, gullick.
