Noun

IPA: /ˈd͡ʒʌɡ.ə.nɔːt/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈd͡ʒʌɡ.ɚ.nɔt/ [US], /ˈd͡ʒʌɡ.ɚ.nɑt/ [US], /ˈd͡ʒʌɡ.ə.nɔːt/ [General-Australian] Audio: en-us-juggernaut.ogg [US], en-au-juggernaut.ogg [Australia] Forms: juggernauts [plural]
Etymology: 17th century, from Hindustani جگنّاتھ / जगन्नाथ (jagannāth) or Odia ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ (jôgônnathô), from Sanskrit जगन्नाथ (jagannātha, “"Lord of the Universe”) (Jagannath), a title for the Hindu deity Vishnu's avatar Krishna. English form influenced by suffix -naut (“sailor”). Doublet of Jagannath. From British colonial era in India, witnessing the Rath Yatra (chariot parade) at Puri, Orissa. The festival features a huge annual procession, with a wagon of the idol of Jagannath. Pulled with ropes by hundreds of devotees, the wagon develops considerable momentum and becomes unstoppable.
