Eytmology of the Word "Gossip"

Recently, I came across something in an old Webster's Dictionary that might tell the story. Under the origin of the word "gossip" we find it comes from two words "God" and "sipp," a relation. In other words, a gossip originally was related to God, a child of God! If we threw out of the church all those guilty of gossip, the church of God would be empty! One day soon, we will look up the word, "God." This will bring forth even a bigger surprise than "gossip."
