Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Αγγλικά: jugge

Συγγενές με Μέσα Αγγλικά: jubbe

In summary

From Middle English jugge, of uncertain origin. Possibly a variant of Middle English jubbe, jobbe, iubbe, geobbe, itself of unknown origin; or perhaps continuing (in altered form) Old English ċēac (“pitcher; jug”). Compare also jug (“a low woman, maidservant”), from Jug, familiar form of Joanna. Prison sense attested from at least 1825 in Britain.
