Forms: 1900s– mah jong, 1900s– mah-jong, 1900s– mahjong, 1900s– mah-jongg, 1900s– mahjongg, 1900s– mah jongh, 1900s– ma-jong.

Origin: A borrowing from Chinese. Etymon: Chinese májiàng.

Etymology: < Chinese májiàng. Compare French mah-jong(g) (c1923).The pronunciation with /ʒ/ does not reflect Chinese pronunciation, and results from analogy with words with /ʒ/ from French.

A game for four (of modern Chinese origin, and introduced into Europe and North America in the early 1920s), normally played with 136 tiles divided into five or six suits representing various natural and mythological entities (such as winds, dragons, bamboos, etc.). Also: the achievement of a winning hand in the game.Mah-jong is now thought to be the model for the rummy family of card games. The overall object of the game is to score most points, and in each individual game the aim is to score by building a hand consisting of four sets of three matching tiles plus one pair of other matching tiles. Many sets of the game include an additional double set of four ‘wild’ tiles or jokers, bringing the total number of tiles to 144. The detailed rules of the game are subject to regional variation.
