The word "euchres" is derived from the card game "Euchre". The origins of the game itself can be traced back to the early 19th century in North America, particularly in the Midwest and Great Lakes region. The term "euchre" is believed to have derived from the earlier game "Juckerspiel" or "Juck", a popular trick-taking game of German origin.
The German word "Juckerspiel" combines "Jucker" (also spelled "Juker") meaning "jack" (as in a playing card) and "Spiel" meaning "game". When the game was introduced to English-speaking players, "Juckerspiel" was anglicized to "Euchre". The spelling variation "euchres" refers to the plural form or acts of playing Euchre.
