Late Middle English (in the sense 'offal'): from Anglo-Norman French, of unknown ultimate origin.

  • A word probably borrowed from Old French that originally meant ‘offal or giblets’. These days its main modern use of ‘rubbish, refuse’ is commoner in American than in British English, but this sense goes back to the 16th century. In computing the saying garbage in, garbage out (often abbreviated as GIGO) is used to state the fact that incorrect or poor-quality input is bound to produce faulty output.
