Etymology

Cognate with Buryat гүлзөөргэнэ (gülzöörgene), but it is impossible to tell which form is original. Found in Kowalewski's 19th century dictionary. Formed as гүзээ (güzee) +‎ -лзгэнэ (-lzgene), but the root may be unrelated to гүзээ (güzee, stomach), compare Khakas кӱзергет (küzerget, stone bramble).
