'jointed' originates from the word 'joint', which comes from Old French 'joint', derived from Latin 'junctus', the past participle of 'jungere', meaning 'to join'.

'joint' evolved from the Old French 'joint', which was used in Middle English and eventually became the modern English word 'joint'.

Initially, it meant 'joined or connected', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
