Gist vs. jist. A gist is the main part of something, usually used with a direct object. It can also be the ground for legal action. Gist comes from the French word gist. Often misspelled as jist. Jist is the common phonetic spelling of a United States Southernerâs way of saying âjustâ.
GIST is an abbreviation for GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumour. 1  Gastrointestinal means that it occurs in the digestive tract, anywhere from the oesophagus to the rectum i.e. the gullet, stomach, intestines. So, for example, a GIST in or near the colon is not cancer of the colon because it does not occur in the functioning part of the colon but in the tissues which support the colon.
