verb
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryTo flow forth suddenly, in great volume. · To send (something) flowing forth suddenly in great volume. · To ejaculate during orgasm. · To make an excessive display of enthusiasm, praise, or sentiment.
From Middle English guschen, gusshen, gosshien, perhaps from Middle Dutch guysen (“to flow out with a gurgling sound, gush”) or Old Norse gusa (“to gush”), ultimately imitative. Compare Old Norse geysa (“to gush”), German gießen (“to pour”), Old English ġēotan ("to pour"; > English yote). Related to gust.
