Etymology of JIGGED

The word "jigged" has its root in the verb "jig", which comes from early 16th-century English. The term initially referred to a lively, bouncing dance. It is believed to have derived from the French word "giguer", which means "to jump" or "to leap". Over time, the word "jig" was also used to describe a particular kind of tool used in woodworking, known as a "jig".

The usage of "jigged" as an adjective or past participle developed from the dance-related meaning of "jig". It began being used to describe something that has been made or shaped in a way that resembles the lively and bouncing movements of a jig dance. Eventually, the meaning expanded further to describe anything that has been altered or manipulated in some way.
