jordann.¹

Brit.

/ˈdʒɔːdn/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɔrd(ə)n/

Forms: Middle English–1500s iurdan(e, iordan, Middle English iurdone, 1500s yordan, iourden, 1500s–1600s iorden, 1600s jur-, jor-, jourdon, jordain, 1600s–1800s jurden, 1700s jourdan, 1600s– jordan.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. The suggestion has been made that Jordan is short for Jordan-bottle, and meant originally a bottle of water brought from the Jordan by crusaders or pilgrims; that it was thence transferred to ‘a pot or vessel used by physicians and alchemists’, and thence to the chamber utensil. But the earlier steps of this conjecture apparently rest upon nothing but the later form of the word (which may actually be a corruption of something else), and the external probabilities of such an origin. It is remarkable that, though the early accentuation and spellings indicate a French origin, no trace of the word has been found in Old French; nor does the medieval Latin jurdānus appear to be known outside England. The river Jordan is in Latin Jordānēs, a word necessarily familiar to the author of the Promp. Parv. and other glossarists, who used not this, but jurdanus for the ‘jurdan’.

†1. A kind of pot or vessel formerly used by physicians and alchemists. Obsolete.As figured in Sloane MS. 73, and elsewhere, it has somewhat the shape of the bulb of a retort, or of a Florence flask with the neck cut off midway between the widest part and the mouth, and the top expanded somewhat to a rim. Possibly it was often used to hold urine for purposes of diagnosis, which would naturally lead to sense 2. Skeat puts the Chaucer example in sense 2.

Etymology: Name of Marie Ennemond Camille Jordan (1838–1922), French mathematician.

Mathematics.

Jordan curve, any curve that is topologically equivalent to a circle, i.e. is closed and does not cross itself; so Jordan('s) (curve) theorem, the theorem that any Jordan curve in a plane divides the plane into just two distinct regions having the curve as their common boundary.
