==English==
{{wikipedia}}

===Etymology 1===
From {{der|en|fr|gala}}, or directly from that word's [[etymon]], which is either {{der|en|it|gala}},<ref name="Dictccom">{{R:Dictionary.com}}</ref> or {{der|en|es|gala}},<ref name="MWO">{{R:MWO}}</ref> both meaning "festive occasion", and derived from {{der|en|fro|gale||rejoicing}}. (The French word likely kept the final ''-a'' to avoid homophony with {{m|fr|gale||scabies}}.) Ultimately cognate to {{m|en|gallant}} and hence probably from {{der|en|frk|-}} {{m|la|*wala||good, well}}.<ref name="Dictccom"/><ref name="MWO"/>
