job lotn.

Brit.

/ˌdʒɒb ˈlɒt/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɑb ˈlɑt/

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: job n.², lot n.

Etymology: Apparently < job n.² + lot n., although apparently influenced in sense by jobbing n.² 1 and jobber n.² 2 (compare also job v.²); job n.² 7 is first attested later and is apparently modelled on this compound.

A miscellaneous set of goods bought together (frequently cheaply and with a view to selling them on separately at a profit). Also in extended use: a motley assortment.

1828 Proc. Old Bailey 21 Feb. 377/2 It is a job lot of 10l. 8s., of different sorts of shawls—they were all shawls.

1851 H. Mayhew London Labour I. 272/1 Some few of them [sc. pocket-books] may, however, have been damaged, and these are bought by the street-people as a ‘job lot’, and at a lower price.

1864 Reader 3 Dec. 707/3 Called ‘job lots’, because the articles included in them are not resold in the state in which they were purchased, but jobbed away, or, in other words, sold to different customers, as opportunity may offer.

1891 Law Times 90 395/1 Defendant..saw two cows belonging to Kidd among a job lot of cattle.

1922 World Tomorrow July 204/2 You can buy them at bargain rates in job lots all over America.

1969 W. Moxham Apprentice 20 It was a pity he'd taken the kid along. He could have nicked off with a good job lot.

1987 T. Wolfe Bonfire of Vanities ii. 35 Inside those vans would be the usual job lots of blacks and Latins, plus an occasional young Italian..and once in a while an Irish kid.

2007 Collect it! Jan. 85/2 The very pretty yellow plate which is hand painted with daisies was picked up at auction in a job lot of assorted china for £10.
