Etymology 1
Uncertain.
- Possibly from Arabic جَازَ (jāza, “to be possible, to happen”), but the semantic inversion is questionable.
- Possibly from Arabic عَجَزَ (ʕajaza, “to be unable, to be powerless”), but the phonetic development — especially considering an intermediate form *عَيَز (“*ʿayaz”) impf. *يَعْيُز (“*yaʿyuz”) — is dubious.
