Word origin
The word 'jostle' originated from Middle English in the late 15th century, derived from the Old French word 'joster' meaning 'to joust'. Originally used in the context of physical competition or combat, it evolved to also describe the act of pushing or competing for advantage in crowded or competitive situations.
