Not sure how i feel about that etymology, but there does apparently exist a verb “guy” meaning “to exhibit an effigy of Guy Fawkes, “to ridicule with wit or innuendo” word came from Middle English word ( word ), from Old English word ( word ), from P.-W.Germanic *word ( word ), from P.-Germanic *wurdą ( word ), from PIE *wr̥dʰh₁om ( word ). most etymologies are boring
