Etymology

The term 'juggernaut' originated from the early 14th century, derived from the Sanskrit word 'Jagannฤtha', which means 'Lord of the Universe'. This name refers to a deity worshipped in the Hindu religion, particularly in the region of Puri, where a massive chariot bearing the idol is pulled during an annual festival. The sheer size and weight of the chariot, along with the fervor of the crowds, led to the term being associated with a powerful force that could not be resisted. As it made its way to the English language through trade and travel, the meaning evolved to describe any enormous, unstoppable force or entity, particularly in contexts like industry, politics, or culture.
