Etymology

The word "jog" likely originates from Middle English joggen, meaning "to shake or jolt," possibly imitative of the motion of a slow run or a gentle push. Over time, it evolved to specifically describe a slow, steady running pace, reflecting the rhythmic, repetitive motion associated with the action.
