jolly-boatn.

Brit.

/ˈdʒɒlɪbəʊt/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɑliˌboʊt/

Etymology: Known only from 18th cent.: origin uncertain. It has been supposed to be a perversion of jolywat n. or gellywatte, an earlier name apparently for the same or a similar ship's boat of small size. On the other hand the first element bears a strong (written) resemblance to a name (of unknown origin and uncertain age) applied to small boats of various kinds in many Germanic languages: e.g. Danish jolle (17th cent.), Swedish jol, jolle, julle, Low German jolle, jölle, gölle, gelle (in Fischer 1741 jol or jelle, Bremen Wörterbuch jelle, East Frisian jül, jülle, Wangeroog jel), Dutch jol (1682 in Winschooten; Hexham, 1678, has the diminutive jolletjen ‘small bark or boat’). But in all these languages the j is = English y, and the actual corresponding word is French yole, English yawl. (An alleged French jol, jelle, seems only to be the Germanic word mentioned as a foreign word in an Encyclopédie of the 18th cent.) Hence the exact historical relations of these words remain unascertained.

A clincher-built ship's boat, smaller than a cutter, with a bluff bow and very wide transom, usually hoisted at the stern of the vessel, and used chiefly as a hack-boat for small work.
