I believe the answer is:

gaul

(Other definitions for gaul that I've seen before include "old country" , "Ancient area of western Europe" , "Name given for ancient France from Celtic times" , "Caesar's name for old France" , "Ancient Western European" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
