JAR

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 275 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAR , a vessel of simple form, made of earthenware, glass, &c., with a spoutless mouth, and usually without handles. The word came into
English
  through Fr. jarre or Span. jarra, from Arab. jarrah, the earthenware vessel of Eastern countries, used to contain water, oil, wine, &c. The simple electrical condenser known as a Leyden Jar (q.v.) was so called because of the early experiments made in the science of electricity at Leiden. In the sense of a harsh vibrating
sound
 , a sudden
shock
  or vibrating
movement
 , hence dissension, quarrel or
petty
  strife, " jar " is onomatopoeic in origin; it is also seen in the name of the bird night-jar (also known as the goat-sucker). In the' expression " on the jar " or " ajar," of a
door
  or window partly open, the word is another form of chore or
char
 , meaning turn or turning, which survives in
charwoman
 , one who works at a turn, a job and chore, a job, spell of
work
 .
