According to Ó Maolalaigh, from delenition of early modern (originally copular) gidh, giodh before dentals (< e.g. giodh do-bheir ‘though he gives’) or from early modern gé do before compound verbs in do- (gé do-ní ‘though he does’) or in the past tense and conditional mood (e.g. gé do chumadar ‘although they made’, gé do bheannaigh ‘though he blessed’, ge d’fhosgail ‘though he opened’).^[1] MacBain explains it as a contraction of ge +‎ ta.^[2] Ultimately from Old Irish cía (“though”) or cid (“though … is”).
