Coined along with many other collective nouns in 15th century, possibly from Old Norse gagl "goose", or from Middle English where the word meant "mindless chatter" usually applied to women (sorry!). Gaggle is only used for geese on the ground, a group in flight is called a skein, related to the same word used to describe a thread, especially of wool.
