jettyn.![](/freq4.svg) Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French geté. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman geté, getté, getei, geteye, Anglo-Norman and Middle French getee projecting part of a building (1342 or earlier), pier, breakwater, mole (1412 or earlier), use as noun of past participle of geter , getter , jeter , jetter to throw (see jet v.2); compare -y suffix5. From the 18th cent. the word was sometimes treated as French and spelt with final -ée , after French feminine nouns with this ending. Compare jutty n., and also jet n.3 (which some instances of γ. forms could instead show).It is unclear whether the following quot. is to be taken as showing two instances of the Middle English or of the Anglo-Norman word (both in sense 1) in a Latin context:c1420 in L.
