Origin

Late Old English gingifer, conflated in Middle English with Old French gingimbre, from medieval Latin gingiber, from Greek zingiberis, from Pali siṅgivera, of Dravidian origin.

The word ginger can be traced back to a word in Sanskrit (the ancient language of India), which became zingiberis in Greek and eventually made its way into English around ad 1000. There is no connection between this and the adverb gingerly (early 16th century). In early usage this was used to describe the way a person danced or walked, and meant ‘with small elegant steps’ or ‘daintily’. Later it developed a more negative meaning, ‘mincingly’. The modern meaning, ‘carefully or cautiously’, dates from the 17th century. Gingerly may come from Old French gensor ‘delicate’, and ultimately from Latin genitus ‘born’ or ‘well born’ (see gender). A ginger group, a group within a political party or movement that presses for stronger action on an issue, comes from an old practice by unscrupulous horse dealers of putting a piece of ginger up the bottom of a worn-out horse in order to make it seem more lively and frisky. This led to the metaphorical use of ginger up to mean ‘to make more lively’, and ginger group developed from this. In the past gingerbread was traditionally decorated with gold leaf. This is why take the gilt off the gingerbread means ‘to make something no longer appealing or to spoil the illusion’. Gilt (Middle English) is the old past participle of gild (from the same root as gold); these days we use gilded.
