Word of the Day: JARGOGLE


ETYMOLOGY
of unknown origin;
possibly a confused extension of jargon (n.)


EXAMPLE
“…Whether all you say have any thing more in it than this, I appeal to my readers: and should willingly do it to you, did not I fear, that the jumbling of those good and plausible words in your head, “of sufficient evidence, consider as one ought,” &c. might a little jargogle your thoughts, and lead you hoodwinked the round of your own beaten circle…”

From: The Works of John Locke
Vol. 5 Four Letters concerning Toleration
A Third Letter for Toleration
By John Locke, 1692
