Derived from gar-, an onomatope common to many ancient European language for boiling water or water flowing through a gullet, and from the Latin 'gula', meaning throat; this gave rise to French gargouille and the English gargoyle; in reference to the somewhat grotesque appearance of the head and throat of tuberculate males of this species.
