jobblingadj.

Brit.

/ˈdʒɒbl̩ɪŋ/,

/ˈdʒɒblɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɑb(ə)lɪŋ/

Forms: 1600s iobling, 1800s– jobbling.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: an element of imitative or expressive origin, -ing suffix².

Etymology: Apparently from a first element imitative of the sound and movement of the waves + -ing suffix². Compare later jobble v., and also jobble n.², jabble v.²It is not entirely certain that the early and later uses represent the same word. In quot. 1613 perhaps alternatively to be explained as a reduplication of hobbling adj.¹ with variation of initial consonant, as there is no explicit mention of the sea or water. If so, the later use may independently derive < jobble n.² + -ing suffix².

Now rare.

That moves unevenly like a choppy sea. Also figurative.
