意味・読み方・使い方

語源 1

A tap dancer jumping.

From Middle English jumpen (“to walk quickly, run, jump”), probably of Middle Low German or North Germanic origin, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *gempaną, *gembaną (“to hop, skip, jump”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰemb- (“to spring, hop, jump”). The OED instead suggests an imitative origin.^[1] Related to jumble.
