Jazz (word)
The origin of the word ''jazz'' is one of the most sought-after word origins in modern American English. Interest in the word – the American Dialect Society named it the Word of the Twentieth Century in 2000 – has resulted in considerable research and the linguistic history is well documented. "Jazz" began as a West-Coast slang term around 1912. The meaning varied, but the word did not initially refer to music. "Jazz" came to mean "jazz music" in Chicago around 1915. Etymology The similarity of "jazz" to "jasm", an obsolete slang term meaning spirit, energy, and vigor, and dated to 1860 in the Random House ''Historical Dictionary of American Slang'' (1979), suggests that "jasm" should be considered the leading candidate for the source of "jazz". A link between the two words is supported by a February 18, 1916 article in the ''Daily Californian'' which used the spelling "jaz-m", although the context and other articles in the same newspaper from this period show that "jazz ...
