Talk:jolt

The word "jolt" has an interesting etymology. It originated in the early 16th century from the obsolete French word "joult," which meant a heavy blow or punch. This term, in turn, is linked to the Middle English word "joute," meaning a heavy blow in a fight or tournament. Over time, "jolt" evolved to signify a sudden, forceful, or abrupt movement or shock. joostgriffioen
