"jaffa" meaning in English

{
  "etymology_text": "From Jaffa, an ancient port city in what is now Israel from which the oranges were exported. The sense \"impotent male\" is a reference to being \"seedless\"; see seed.\nThe cricketing sense, of a 'sweet ball' (from the bowler's perspective), is a metaphor further reinforced in Australian English where Jaffa is also a trademark for a popular lolly that is red and round.",
