jauncev.

/dʒɑːns//dʒɔːns/
Etymology: probably derived < Old French.Palsgrave has ‘I gestyll a horse to and fro in the stabyll, Je jance . He hath gestylled my horse in the stabyll tyll he hath made hym all on a water: il a jancé mon cheual a lestable tant quil la mys tout en eaue .’ Cotgrave has ‘Iancer un cheval , to stirre a horse in the stable till hee sweat withall; or (as our) to iaunt; (an old word).’ Neither of these writers uses the English jaunce to render jancer , nor is the sense assigned by them that used by Shakespeare. But Palsgrave has ‘I gawance a horse up and downe upon the stones and make hym gambalde and flynge, je pourbondis . And you gaunce your horse up and downe thus upon the stones, he wyll be naught within a whyle: si vous pourbondissez vostre cheual en ce poynt ,’ etc. (Old French Pourbondir = caracoler and faire carcacoler , Godefroy) This gawnce or gaunce appears to agree in meaning with Shakespeare's jaunce , but hardly with jancer , as explained by Palsgrave and Cotgrave. If the words are the same, the only possible inference seems to be that there was an Old French *jancer (? Old Northern French gancer ) to prance as a horse, to make a horse prance, the existence of which is as yet known only from Palsgrave and Cotgrave (both English), who perhaps did not clearly understand its meaning. See also jounce v.
Obsolete or archaic.
a. transitive. ? To make (a horse) prance up and down.
