c.1300, “turret, small tower on the roof of a house or castle,” from Old French garite “watchtower, place of refuge,” from garir “defend, preserve,” from a Germanic source (cf.

Meaning “room on uppermost floor of a house” is from early 14c. See attic. As the typical wretched abode of a poor poet, by mid-18c.
