Is the word gutter of Sanskrit or Indian origin?

The word "gutter" is not of Sanskrit or Indian origin. It comes from the Old French word "goute", meaning "drop" or "drip".

The word evolved through Middle English and eventually came to mean the channel or trough designed to carry away rainwater.

While there may be similar concepts in Indian languages, the word "gutter" itself is of French origin.
