Etymology
Middle English, going back to Old English, neuter strong noun, going back to Germanic *gulþa-/*gulđa- (with varying accentuation, whence also Old Frisian, Old Saxon, and Old High German gold "gold," Old Norse gull, goll, Gothic gulþ), going back to dialectal Indo-European {it}*ǵhl̥(h{inf}3{/inf})-to-,{/it} with full-grade ablaut {it}*ǵhel(h{inf}3{/inf})-to-{/it} (in Latvian zȩ̀lts "gold," Old Prussian sealtmeno "oriole") and o-grade {it}*ǵhol(h{inf}3{/inf})-to-{/it} (in Slavic *zȍlto, whence Old Church Slavic zlato "gold," Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian zlâto, Polish złoto, Russian zóloto), all derivatives with the adjectival suffix *-to- from Indo-European {it}*ǵhelh{inf}3{/inf}-{/it} "yellow, green"
