Factors That May Contribute to Eating Disorders. Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a combination of long-standing behavioral, biological, emotional, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors. Scientists and researchers are still learning about the underlying causes of these emotionally and physically damaging conditions. We do know, however, about some of the general issues that can contribute to the development of eating disorders.
Etymology[edit] Borrowing from French gauche â(âleft, awkwardâ), from gauchir â(âto veer, turnâ), from Old French gaucher â(âto trample, walk clumsilyâ), from Frankish *walkan â(âto full, trampleâ), from Proto-Germanic *walkanÄ â(âto full, roll upâ).
This gaud came from the French gaudir, meaning to rejoice or jest, which came in turn from the Latin gaudere, meaning to rejoice or delight in. (That Latin gaudere, by the way, is also the source of the English word joy.). posted by meerkatty at 2:38 PM on July 8, 2009.ncluding, from here : I was recently told that the word gaudy comes from the name of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. I find this hard to believe as he died in the late 1920s and it seems to me that this word is of older origin. The dictionary said that it came from gaudiere, which I assume is French.
