• n. 行話，術語；黃鋯石

來自法語jargon,鳥鳴，說話，來自拉丁語garrire,交談，擬聲詞，模仿含混不清說話的聲音，詞源同garrulous.引申詞義行話，即外人聽不懂的話。

jargon (n.)

mid-14c., "unintelligible talk, gibberish; chattering, jabbering," from Old French jargon "a chattering" (of birds), also "language, speech," especially "idle talk; thieves' Latin." Ultimately of echoic origin (compare Latin garrire "to chatter," English gargle). Often applied to something the speaker does not understand, hence meaning "mode of speech full of unfamiliar terms" (1650s). Middle English also had it as a verb, jargounen "to chatter" (late 14c.), from French.
