Etymology

Borrowed from French: jade

In summary

Borrowed from French jade, back formation from le jade, rebracketing of earlier l'éjade (“jade”), from Spanish piedra de ijada (literally “flank stone”), via Vulgar Latin *iliata from Latin ilia (“flank”) (jade was thought to cure pains in the side).
