Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English juel, jewel, juwel, jeuel, jowel, from juel, from Old French jouel, joel, joïel, hence French joyau, of uncertain origin. Perhaps based ultimately on Latin gaudium (joy), or on Latin iocus (joke; jest), or according to Pihan, from Arabic جَوْهَر. Compare jocale. Displaced native māþm.
