From 中期英語 jugge, of uncertain origin. Possibly a variant of 中期英語 jubbe, jobbe, iubbe, geobbe, itself of unknown origin; or perhaps continuing (in altered form) 古期英語 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.
