Adjective
1. (British informal) sore or lame;
"a gammy foot"
of uncertain origin Note: A connection with game >entry 4 is not well-motivated derivationally or phonetically. Also compared with regional French gambi, cambi "lame, bow-legged," though the late date of the word does not favor borrowing from such a source.
