===Etymology 2===
{{unk|en}} (late 18th century).

====Pronunciation====
* {{IPA|en|/d͡ʒɪb/}} or {{IPA|en|/ɡɪb/}} {{q|both are common}}<!--If you doubt that, kindly consult OED before taking MW's and AHD's word on this one. OED disagrees with MW and AHD regarding AmE pron. In real experience in AmE speech, both are heard. A cursory sampling of YouTube videos from AmE speakers in 2023 found [[hard g]] dominating. But I strongly suspect that the [[hard g]] has increased in AmE speech solely because MW and AHD have long shown only that variant (erroneously omitting the other) and quite a few people have looked up the pron in "the dictionary" and then naturally further reinforce what "the dictionary" said was the only "correct" pron.-->
