"etymology_text": "From Middle English jonket (“basket made of rushes; food, probably made of sour milk or cream; banquet, feast.”), from Medieval Latin iuncta, possibly from Latin iuncus (“rush, reed”) and therefore a possible doublet of jonquil.\nMeaning shifted to \"feast or banquet\" by 1520s, probably via the notion of a picnic basket. This in turn led to the sense of \"pleasure-trip\" (1814), and then to specifically to \"trip made ostensibly for business but which entails merrymaking or entertainment\" by 1886 in American English.",
