From the term jump (“short coat”) in sailors' jargon, of uncertain origin. Possibly from Scottish English jupe (“man's loose jacket or tunic”), from Middle English juype, gype, joupe, from Old French jupe, juppe, from Arabic جُبَّة (jubba); see also jibba.Christmas jumper day Dec 7th.
Why are they called jumpers? A pullover I can understand but jumper.
