In History the origins of the word “gadget” trace back to the 19th century. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there is anecdotal evidence for the use of “gadget” as a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name one can’t remember since the 1850s; with Robert Brown’s 1886 book Spunyarn and Spindrift, a sailor boy’s log of a voyage out and home in a China tea-clipper containing the earliest known usage in print.
A widely circulated story holds that the word gadget was invented when Gaget, Gauthier and Cie, the company behind the repousse construction of the Statue of Liberty (1886), made a small scale version of the monument and named it after their firm; however this contradicts the evidence that the word was already used before in nautical circles. Other sources cite a derivation from the French gachette which has been applied to various pieces of a firing mechanism or the French gage, a small tool or accessory.
