century. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there is
anecdotal (not necessarily true) evidence for the use of
"gadget" as a placeholder name for a technical item whose
precise name one can't remember since the 1850s; with Robert
Brown's 1886 book Spunyarn and Spindrift, A sailor boy’s log of
a voyage out and home in a China tea-clipper containing the
earliest known usage in print.[2] The etymology of the word is
disputed.
A widely circulated story holds that the word gadget was
"invented" when Gaget, Gauthier & Cie, the company behind
the repoussé construction of the Statue of Liberty (1886),
made a small-scale version of the monument and named it
after their firm; however this contradicts the evidence that the
word was already used before in nautical circles, and the fact
that it did not become popular, at least in the USA, until after
World War I
