jeerv.

Brit. /dʒɪə/, U.S. /dʒɪ(ə)r/
Forms: 1500s geare, gyre, gyere, 1500s–1600s geere, giere, 1600s geer, jear(e, jeere, 1600s– jeer.
Etymology: Origin unascertained: appears c1550. (Among derivations which have been suggested, are German scheren to shear, figuratively to plague, tease, vex (compare Dutch gekscheren ‘to shear the fool’, to jest, banter); Dutch gieren ‘stridere, strepere’ (Kilian), ‘to cry, to roar, or bray’ (Hexham), ‘cum stridore et strepitu alicui illudere’ (Junius); both of these show some similarity of sense, but, phonologically, jeer is an unlikely outcome of borrowing of either. On the French side giries , in Norman patois ‘grimaces, affectations hypocritiques’, in Rouchi ‘tromperie, mauvaise plaisanterie’, has been suggested as allied; but it is obvious that this is inadequate to account for the English verb. A suggestion that jeer may have originated in an ironical use of cheer is plausible and phonetically feasible (compare jass adj., jawn at chawn v. Forms), but lies beyond existing evidence.)
1. intransitive. To speak or call out in derision or mockery; to scoff derisively. Const. at.
