Gushet
- this is a triangular piece of land, especially one lying between two adjacent properties. It occurs in a variety of minor names including Gushetfaulds in Glasgow, and it appears in the title of Willam Alexander's Scots novel, Johnny Gibb of Gushetneuk (1884). A gushet house was a building that stood on a corner, or created an angle between two roads. You might recognise the similarity of gushet and gusset. The English word was borrowed from Old French gousset, but the Scots form appears to be closer to a variant of this word, Old French gouchet.
