jerquev.

/dʒəːk/

Forms: Also 1800s jirk.

Etymology: Origin obscure: it has been conjecturally referred to Italian cercare to search, which suits the form and sense; but historical evidence is wanting. The agent noun jerquer n., jerker, is evidenced back to 1706, and ought to be formed from the verb; but the latter is not known so early, nor does it appear how either word was connected with Italy.

transitive.

a. To search (a vessel) for unentered goods: see jerquer n.
