verb
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryTo ramble here and there; to stroll; to make an excursion. · To ride on a jaunting car. · To jolt; to jounce. · To tire a horse by riding it hard or back and forth.
Origin uncertain. Perhaps a palatalised alteration of daunt (“to discourage”). Compare Scots jaunder (“to ramble, jaunt to taunt, jeer”), dialectal Swedish ganta (“to play the buffoon, romp, jest”); perhaps akin to English jump. Compare jaunce. Modern usage likely influenced by jaunty.
