THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JACK.
x i rH IL E this name Is, of
W
course, the diminutive of
John—or, rather, the Anglicised
form o f the French Jacques—
It appears In English In a num­
ber o f ways which apparently
lmve no connectl .011 with the
name. Among these may he men­
tioned boot-jack, lack-knife, lum­
ber-jack, black-jack, Union-Jack
and Juek-tnr.
The reason for this usage Is
because tbe proper name or
nickname, “ Jack,” has for many
years past been applied In Eng­
land to servants or luborers as
a class.
Jack Is a handy nnd
easy name for a waiter or a
caddy, or a groom, much ns ninny
Americans apply
the
name
George to any negro porter. For
this reason, many uppl lances
which nre subject to rough usage
or which perform the tasks of
a laborer are known by the
prefix "Jack," with a noun which
designates the use to which they
nre put. The expression "Jack
of all trades" la another ex­
emplification of the same usage,
while the »uhstltutlon o f the
name "Jack” for the “ knave” In
a pack o f cards Is an Indication
o f the hard usage which Hds gen­
tleman undergoes nt the bunds
of the queen, king nnd ace.
