Fréquence

Prononcé comme (IPA)

/d͡ʒɒb/

Inherited from moyen anglais

gobbe

In summary

From the phrase jobbe of work (“piece of work”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from a variant of Middle English gobbe (“mass, lump”); or perhaps related to Middle English jobben (“to jab, thrust, peck”), or Middle English choppe (“piece, bargain”). More at gob, jab, chop.
