- "of the Goths," Gmc. people who lived in Eastern Europe c. 100 A.D. (O.E. Gota, L.L. Goth, Gk. Gothoi), from Goth. gutthiuda "Gothic people," the first element cognate with O.N. gotar "men."

Used in sense of "savage despoiler" for their sack of Roman cities, 5c., and later by scholars for "Germanic, Teutonic," hence its evolution as a term for the art style that emerged in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, and the 19c. literary style that used medieval settings to suggest horror and mystery. The word was revived 1983 as the name for a style of music and the associated youth culture; abbreviated form goth is attested from 1986. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
