Etymology
“Gibier” is a noun in French (meaning wild game), not a verb.
It derives from Old French *gibiere*, which in turn comes from Late Latin *gibera* (the plural of *gibbus*, “hump”), originally used to describe animals with a pronounced back and later generalized to hunted game.
The form was fixed in Middle French as *gibier*, preserving this sense of hunted animals.
