Etymology
**Etymology of *dégainer***
The verb is formed from the prefix *dé‑* “to remove or un‑” and the old French verb *gainer*, meaning “to draw out a sword or knife.” *Gainer* itself derives from Vulgar Latin *gaineare*, a verb coined from a Latin root *gaineus* (cf. Latin *galea* “helmet”) that signified a sword or blade. First recorded in medieval French, the term has kept its literal sense of drawing a weapon and later developed figurative uses such as “to bring up a point.”
