Etymology

From Middle Dutch jalours, jaloers, also jalous, jaloes, from Old French jalous, from Late Latin zelosus. The -r- is not etymological and does not appear in any other language; even the related Dutch term jaloezie lacks it. Its origin is unknown, but may have arisen by analogy if the endings -s and -rs were homophonous in Middle Dutch.
