A good way to remember gaunt is that it rhymes with haunt, and gaunt people look pale, drawn, and wasted — like you’d expect a haunting ghost to appear. Another way to remember it is that g- + aunt is like great-aunt, and often when you appear to be gaunt you look like you’re old — like your Great Aunt Mildred.

词源
gaunt(adj.)”lean and haggard,” from or as if from hunger, mid-15c. (as a surname from mid-13c.), a word of uncertain origin; perhaps from a Scandinavian source (compare Old Norse gand “a thin stick,” also “a tall thin man”) and somehow connected with the root of gander. Connection also has been suggested to Old French jaunet “yellowish” [The Middle English Compendium].also from mid-15c.

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
gaunt(adj。)“瘦和haggard”,从饥饿中或从15c中旬开始。 (作为13c中期的姓氏)。也许是从斯堪的纳维亚的来源(比较旧的北欧·甘德(Norse Gand)“一根薄棍子”,也比较“一个高个子的人”),并以某种方式与甘德的根源相连。还建议与古老的法国jaunet“黄” [中间英语纲要]。
