The answer
GOOSE
What goose means
A large web-footed waterfowl with a long neck, similar to a duck but typically larger and with a more elongated body.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *gos*, the word traces back through Proto-Germanic *gans* to Proto-Indo-European *ghans-*, meaning a water bird. The same root produced German *Gans*, Dutch *gans*, and Latin *anser* (though Latin borrowed from a different branch). The plural "geese" preserves an ancient vowel shift from when Germanic languages changed the vowel of plural forms.
