Etymology

From Middle French jardin, from Old French jardin, from Medieval Latin jardinus (“garden”), from Old Frankish *gardin, oblique case of *gardō (“enclosure, yard”) (compare also Old French jart (“garden”)), from Proto-Germanic *gardô (“enclosure, garden, house”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰordʰos (“hedge, enclosure”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰerdʰ- (“court, yard”).
Cognate with Old High German gart, garto (“garden, enclosure, yard”), Old English ġeard (“garden, yard, fence, enclosure”). Cognate with English garden, which was derived from an Anglo-Norman/Old Northern French variant. More at yard.
