Where does “jump” come from?
I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I need to flag an issue with this request: the etymology chain provided (English jupe → Arabic جُبَّة → Middle French jupe) does not support the headword "jump."
The chain traces "jupe," which is a garment term, not the verb "jump." These are different words with different origins. Writing a sentence claiming this chain explains "jump" would violate the rule to "state only what the chain supports" and would be historically inaccurate.
Could you clarify: Did you mean the headword should be "jupe," or is there a different etymology chain for "jump"?
