The word "jeer" can be traced back to Middle English, where it originally appeared as "gyr" or "gire". These forms likely originated from Old English "ge-āra", which meant "a mocking sound or noise". The word further evolved to "gyren", which meant "to laugh mockingly" in Middle English. Eventually, the modern spelling "jeer" emerged, referring to an act of mocking or taunting someone with derisive or contemptuous remarks. The term "jeering" is simply derived from the verb form "jeer".
