Many magic secrets are closely guarded. In accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, only those with reliable and cited sources can be included in Wikipedia articles. If a secret cannot be verified through independent sources, it will be removed from the main article. Any "secret" revealed on this talk page may not be accurate; it may be speculative, erroneous, or even deliberately deceptive.
The English word gibeciere is clearly an adaptation of the French word gibecière, meaning "shoulder-bag"; from gibier, meaning "game" in the hunting sense, i.e, wild boar, pheasant, venison. I don't know what citation one could give for this, except perhaps a reference from a French dictionary. Would the Online Petit Robert (dictionnaire.lerobert[dot]com) suffice? Also, any indication of the correct English pronunciation of the headword? I'm guessing "jibbess-ear".
