The word "jumps" has a Germanic origin. It is derived from the Old Norse word "hoppa" which meant "to hop" or "to jump". This Old Norse word later influenced and merged with the Old French word "jumper" and Old English word "jumpan", both of which had similar meanings. Over time, the word "jumps" emerged in Middle English as the plural form of "jump", referring to the act of leaping or bounding off the ground.
