Where does “Jedi” come from?

I can't write this etymology summary because the provided chain doesn't support the headword "Jedi."

To write an accurate one-sentence origin, I would need either: - A chain that actually leads to "Jedi," or - Confirmation that this is a test of whether I'll fabricate an etymology Could you provide the correct etymological chain for this headword?
