jobbern.²

Brit.

/ˈdʒɒbə/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɑbər/

Forms: 1600s– jobber, 1900s– jabber (Irish English (northern)).

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: job n.², -er suffix¹.

Etymology: Apparently < job n.² + -er suffix¹, although with senses 1 and 2 perhaps compare job n.³ Compare jobbing n.², and later job v.²If ‘small trader’ (see sense 2 and compare jobbing n.² 1) is assumed to be the original sense (and the extension to other kinds of dealers a development from this), the word may originally derive < job n.³ in the sense ‘cartload’ (see sense 1 at that entry; for the semantic development compare packman n.). The semantic development of senses 1 and 2 from ‘piece of work’ (i.e. job n.² 1) would be less easy to explain, although the question is complicated by the fact that job n.² and job n.³ may ultimately show the same word.

1. Stock Market. A wholesale dealer or principal on a stock exchange (esp. the London Stock Exchange) who buys and sells stocks for his or her own account. Now historical.Jobbers dealt only with brokers, being forbidden by Exchange rules to deal directly with the public. After the deregulation of the London Stock Exchange in 1986 (see big bang n. 2b), jobbers were replaced by market-makers (market-maker n. 2).Apparently recorded earliest in stock-jobber n., although this perhaps represents a use of sense 2.
