Etymology
The word 'jeopardy' originated from Old French 'jeu parti', which means 'a divided game' or 'a game with even chances'. The term was used in medieval English law to describe a situation where a person's property was at risk in a legal trial. Over time, 'jeopardy' evolved to also represent danger or risk in general.
