The word "job" originates from Middle English jobbe, meaning "a piece of work" or "a lump," likely of imitative or expressive origin. It evolved from the sense of a discrete task to its modern meaning of paid employment by the 16th century. Its Germanic roots suggest a connection to physical labor or small tasks, contrasting with broader Latin-derived terms like "occupation."
