jardin

French jardin (“garden”), from the mossy appearance. Doublet of garden.

1. The inclusions and fissures within an emerald.

From Middle French jardin, from Old French jardin, from Medieval Latin jardinus (“garden”), from Old Frankish *gardin, oblique case of *gardō (“enclosure, yard”) (compare also Old French jart (“garden”)), from Proto-Germanic *gardô (“enclosure, garden, house”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰordʰos (“hedge, enclosure”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰerdʰ- (“court, yard”).
