Etymology
Borrowed from Malay jurubahasa (“interpreter”), from juru- (“expert”) + bahasa (“language”). The first element was derived from Javanese ꦗꦸꦫꦸ (juru, “expert”), from Old Javanese juru (“head, leader, chief; tradesman”), while the second element was derived from Sanskrit भाषा (bhāṣā). The pronunciation was possibly conflated with hasa. Compare Maranao diyarobasa and Tausug julbahasa.
