Etymology
The word 'jam' has a long history, originating from the French word 'confiture' in the 18th century. It was used to describe a fruit preserve made by boiling fruit and sugar together. Over time, the term 'jam' became more commonly used in English-speaking countries to refer to this type of spread. In the context of music, 'jam' has roots in jazz and blues culture, where musicians would gather to improvise and play together in an informal setting.
