Etymology of JEOPARDISE

The word "jeopardise" derives from the Old French term "jéopardeal", which was formed by combining the words "jeu" (meaning "game" or "play") and "péril" (meaning "peril" or "danger"). The influence of the Middle English word "jeoparden" (to put in jeopardy) also played a role in the development of the term. Eventually, this evolved into the modern English term "jeopardize", which is now commonly spelled as "jeopardise" in British English.
