See jordan on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈd͡ʒɔɹdn̩/ [General-American], /ˈd͡ʒɔːdn̩/ [Received-Pronunciation] Audio: en-us-Jordan.ogg Forms: jordans [plural]
Rhymes: -ɔː(ɹ)dən Etymology: From Middle English jordan, from Latin jurdanus, unattested outside of England and of uncertain etymology. Usually derived from a clipped form of Jordan bottle, supposedly a bottle of curative water brought back from the River Jordan by Crusaders and pilgrims to the Holy Land, but this seems unsupported in its actual attestations. Its use for chamber pots may derive from the alchemical device having been used to hold urine.

  "etymology_text": "From Middle English jordan, from Latin jurdanus, unattested outside of England and of uncertain etymology. Usually derived from a clipped form of Jordan bottle, supposedly a bottle of curative water brought back from the River Jordan by Crusaders and pilgrims to the Holy Land, but this seems unsupported in its actual attestations. Its use for chamber pots may derive from the alchemical device having been used to hold urine.",
