| 词汇 | jargon |
| 词源 | jargon. Jargon, or jargoun, meant “a twittering sound” or “meaningless chatter” in Medieval French. It later came to mean the argot or special vocabulary of a trade or profession, because such vocabularies were unintelligible to the outsider. Many trades have their own jargon, which facilitates things for the initiated. |
