Word origin
The word 'jumble' originated in the late 16th century and comes from the Middle English word 'jumbelen', meaning to move irregularly. It is related to the Old French word 'jambler', which means to shake or wobble. Over time, 'jumble' evolved to describe a confused mixture or a state of disorder.
