Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Old French: jargon

Geleen van Italiaans: giargone

In summary

Inherited from Old French jargon, gargun ("cheeping of birds"), from a root *garg expressing the sound of the throat or referring to it. See gargouille, gargariser, gargoter.
The initial /ʒ/ sound comes from a softening of /g/, as in jambe.
