Word: Jack
Speech Type: Verb
late Middle English: from Jack, pet form of the given name John. The term was used originally to denote an ordinary man (jack (sense 7)), also a youth (mid 16th century), hence the ‘knave’ in cards and ‘male animal’. The word also denoted various devices saving human labour, as though one had a helper (jack (sense 1, jack sense 3, jack sense 10, jack sense 11), and in compounds such as jackhammer and jackknife); the general sense ‘labourer’ arose in the early 18th century and survives in cheapjack, lumberjack, steeplejack, etc. Since the mid 16th century a notion of ‘smallness’ has arisen, hence jack (sense 5, jack sense 6, jack sense 8, jack sense 14)
