Maritime Meanings

Gadget

A small device or mechanical aid or fitting on board ship used to help get things done. Often called by the seaman a "gilguy" or "gillickie." Adopted in the round by the landsman to describe things of similar nature. Probably from gadge, and early Scottish form of "gauge."
